---------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, and I think Spark's doing that by using a script that polls for pull
requests, rather than triggering via webhooks with the plugin. That could
definitely be done on builds.a.o, a la the test patch stuff that Hadoop and
friends use (which is becoming the core of the new Yetus project). We could
probably work on getting PR polling added to that as well as the existing JIRA
polling.

> Ability to trigger Jenkins rebuild for GitHub pull requests

> Key: BUILDS-102

> Project: Infra Build Platform
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Jenkins
> Reporter: Ismael Juma

> It would be really useful to be able to trigger a Jenkins rebuild for a
> GitHub pull request when the build fails due to a transient problem (ie flaky
> tests and/or environmental issues). Despite our best efforts, it's hard to
> eliminate all flaky tests from the Kafka codebase (as some are fixed, new
> ones appear).
> This is supported by the open-source GitHub Pull Request Builder Plugin via
> comments in the pull request itself (e.g. "retest this please" to rebuild,
> "add to whitelist" to automatically build future pull requests from the
> submitter, etc.):
> https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin
> Spark is using this with the AMPLab Jenkins instance:
> https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/7613
> https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/SparkPullRequestBuilder/38199/consoleFull
> The Apache Jenkins instance is using the Jenkins Enterprise GH PR plugin,
> which doesn't support this functionality (probably based on
> https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin) because the more
> featured one required privileges on the GitHub side that the Apache Infra
> team was not able to give at the time (as explained by [~abayer]).
> [~abayer] suggested that he would check if things have changed. The fact that
> Spark made it work is a good indicator. We also have the option of moving to
> a separate Jenkins instance (Confluent has offered theirs), but we would
> prefer to improve the Apache one as that benefits the other projects too.
> This was originally discussed in the following thread in the mailing list:
