The HDFS build is not healthy. Many of the unit tests aren't actually run in Jenkins due to resource exhaustion, haven't been updated since build/test/data was the test temp dir, or are chronically unstable (I'm looking at you, TestDFSStripedOutputStreamWithFailure). The situation has deteriorated slowly, but we can't confidently merge patches, let alone significant features, when our CI infra is in this state.
How would folks feel about a half to full-day meetup to work through patches improving this, specifically? We can improve tests, troubleshoot the build, and rev/commit existing patches. It would require some preparation, so the simultaneous attention is productive and not a coordination bottleneck. I started a wiki page for this [1], please add to it. If enough people can make time for this, say in 2-3 weeks, the project would certainly benefit. -C [1]: https://s.apache.org/ng3C --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
