Update to Gradle 2.9 and update generated `gradlew` file More performance improvements: "In many cases, Gradle 2.9 is much faster than Gradle 2.8 when performing incremental builds. Very large builds (many thousands of source files) could see incremental build speeds up to 80% faster than 2.7 and up to 40% faster than 2.8. Gradle now uses a more efficient mechanism to scan the filesystem, making up-to-date checks significantly faster. This improvement is only available when running Gradle with Java 7 or newer. Other improvements have been made to speed-up include and exclude pattern evaluation; these improvements apply to all supported Java versions. Gradle now uses much less memory than previous releases when performing incremental builds. By de-duplicating Strings used as file paths in internal caches, and by reducing the overhead of listing classes under test for Java projects, some builds use 30-70% less memory that Gradle 2.8." https://docs.gradle.org/current/release-notes You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/ijuma/kafka gradle-2.9 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/549.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #549 ---- commit 096a99b699457f5f0cfc55fee02f7a34b727456e Author: Ismael Juma <ism...@juma.me.uk> Date: 2015-11-18T09:14:00Z Update to Gradle 2.9 and update generated `gradlew` file ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
