Dear Pulsar community members,

Here's a report of the flaky tests in Pulsar CI during the observation
period of 2021-11-16 - 2021-11-23 .
The full report has been also updated to a Google Sheet,

The PersistentStreamingDispatcherBlockConsumerTest.testBlockBrokerDispatching
test is very flaky. There's https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/12883
to address it.

Markdown formatted summary reports for each test class can be accessed at
https://github.com/lhotari/pulsar-flakes/tree/master/2021-11-16-to-2021-11-23
(type 't' to activate search by filename in GitHub UI, then type the test
class name to find the report)

*We need more help in addressing the flaky tests. Please join the efforts
so that we can get CI to a more stable state. *

To coordinate the work,
1) please search for an existing issues or search for all flaky issues with
"flaky" or the test class name (without package) in the search:
https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues?q=is%3Aopen+flaky+sort%3Aupdated-desc
2) If there isn't an issue for a particular flaky test failure that you'd
like to fix, please create an issue using the "Flaky test" template at
https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/new/choose
3) Please comment on the issue that you are working on it.

We have a few active contributors working on the flaky tests, thanks for
the contributions.

I'm looking forward to more contributors joining the efforts. Please join
the #testing channel on Slack if you'd like to ask questions and tips about
reproducing flaky tests locally and how to fix them.
Sharing stories about fixing flaky tests is also helpful for sharing the
knowledge about how flaky tests can be fixed. That's a valuable way to
contribute too.
*Some of the flaky tests might be actual real production code bugs. Fixing
the flaky test might result in fixing a real production code bug.*

*Current contributors, please keep up the good work! *
*New contributors, you are welcome to join the efforts! You will learn
about Pulsar and its internals as a side-effect. *
*If you'd love to learn Pulsar internals and Pulsar OSS development, start
by fixing flaky tests.*

BR,  -Lari
