Hi all, First let me introduce myself to the community: I'm Attila Szabo. I'm a software engineer at Cloudera since Oct. 2015, and I've just recently (March this year) started to contribute Sqoop. So as you can see I'm quite new in this community, but also I'm very enthusiastic to join the Sqoop development.
I'd like to ask a question about Ivy resolve, and how to make it affective. I have to highlight that I'm not an ant or ivy expert, so maybe this is possible I've missed something! However I've faced the following issue on my dev pc: Every ant operation is very slow at me, because regardless I have the artifacts in my local ivy cache or not, it goes to the maven2 repo to check something connected to the resolve process. It doesn't download anything, as I've already got the dependencies, however this process is still quite slow (on my home network for example it could take 2-5 minutes). I've seen that it looks for the dependencies in the local .m2 repository, but usually I do not have those artifacts in my local .m2 and also for me it would make sense to have a maven independent solution. So I've read a few things about ivy resolver, and got a workaround (details in the attached patch file), which provides another FS related resolver points to my local ivy cache, and that gives the required performance for me (10 seconds max the resolve phase, once I've downloaded all the dependencies). My questions are the following: - Is it a valid solution, or did I make any fundamental mistakes? - If the ivy cache related way is not preferred (by any reason), is there any EZ to access and run solution to have the related artifacts installed/downloaded in my local maven repo. - Is there any other way to have a fast resolution without "hacking" around the ivysettings or the local maven repo (it is possible I've just missed an ant task, or something in the docs). Many thanks for the help, -- Best regards, Attila Szabo Sotware Engineer <http://www.cloudera.com>
