Allen Wittenauer commented on KAFKA-2203: ----------------------------------------- We've got a ways to go before we do a release and one of those things is guidance on how projects should best incorporate it. That said, there is some usage documentation already there: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/tree/HADOOP-12111/dev-support/docs ... so we're not exactly starting from scratch. I'm doing most of the gradle work in HADOOP-12257 with my dev code currently sitting in https://github.com/aw-altiscale/hadoop/tree/h12257 (in the dev-support dir). It's going through a LOT of major changes still (with the occasional forced update) but feel free to mess around with it. As soon as it gets more stable, I'll likely ping some folks from the projects I'm currently playing with (bigtop, samza, kafka) to have a look over since my knowledge of gradle isn't great. The biggest thing I need right now are patches that are known to break or otherwise have bad behavior to see if the code catches it. I've already did one test against a kafka patch that was out there that caused unit test failures. Due to junit being used, test-patch picked that up with no code changes required. Same with bash code changes. It's the scala bits that I definitely need help with: "this has a scala compile error!" "this has a scala warning we should flag!" etc. The multiple scala support is a bigger issue that maybe we'll tackle in the future. I'd want to clean up HADOOP-12337 first though so that we have a better idea of how to matrix builds.
