I have an ongoing INFRA ticket with the testing issues we've seen when utilizing the ASF's Jenkins infrastructure. Basically, the results are erratic, due to other project (and Cassandra) concurrent test runs. Our testing on CassCI is pretty stable, since we do not run any concurrent tests. Cassandra tests open network sockets and hammer servers pretty hard, so running alongside other jobs on the same server have resulted in random network errors and timeouts.
INFRA indicated that some other projects have dedicated test slaves, and that they could evaluate this, based on need and available resources. They have indicated in the latest comment that the Cassandra project could provide servers, and INFRA could set them up in Jenkins as dedicated project slaves. Is anyone interested in helping provide some stable testing slaves that we can use in ASF's Jenkins? If so, I'd be happy to get extra details and facilitate the setup with INFRA. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Michael
