There are 2 ways: A) Execute a jenkins job manually, and specify the branch to test (Note: You need Jenkins user/pass to do it): https://builds.apache.org/view/H-L/view/Hive/job/HIVE-Branch-Test/
B) Create a JIRA (it can be a Task jira) where you can attach a patch that tells Jenkins to trigger tests in a specific branch: For instance, HIVE-XXXX-branch-1.patch (The patch can have a small change enough to trigger a build) For both options, we must have a properties file on the hiveptest server for such specific branch. Currently, we have the following properties: branch-1.2-mr2.properties branch-1-mr2.properties branch-2.1-mr2.properties master-mr2.properties spark-mr2.properties We're working on making this easier, for for now we need to do the last piece manually. What branch do you want to execute? I can create the properties file on the server.
