Mark Miller commented on SOLR-5775:
-----------------------------------
{noformat}
Currently, solr tests are failing 90%+ of the time. We've been through this
before many times, the argument is always that someone is looking at the
failures and knows which ones are bad.
This argument is a lie. Nobody is watching these failures, or
DistributedQueryComponentOptimizationTest would not have failed repeatedly for
two straight days when the fix was trivial (I fixed this last night:
http://svn.apache.org/r1571930)
{noformat}
I made an argument like that for release - because it's true. I read every
email that comes in. The argument was that I had a handle on where things were
for a release, not that I could personally jump on any failure right away.
Everybody that works on Solr should help jump in if they are concerned.
Anyway, I have not looked yet, but depending on what test coverage is lost, I
would -1 the change.
If the fix was trivial, why didn't *you* just fix it? Who was supposed to fix
it instead of you?

> Its frustrating to me as a committer, solr tests *NEVER* pass on my machine,
> no matter how many times I try. How can i possibly commit something without
> knowing i am making the situation even worse?
> This is all a big problem for developers, release managers, even users of the
> project. The test suite should pass.
> The old argument that "solr tests are allowed to fail" is no longer valid. I
> will disable all constantly failing tests.
