Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-15708:
-------------------------------------
What we can do on the machines and what is a good idea are two different
things. Folks with login access on builds.apache.org are given pretty broad
leeway. It's entirely possible that {{pip install --user}} will work with the
jenkins user. However, we have no control over what other folks with login
access install in the jenkins user's python, nor even what version of python
shows up.
In the interest of build stability, given the limitations of running within ASF
infra's supported jenkins instance, please rely on docker.

> Scripts in dev-support are limited in terms of dependencies by what's
> installed on apache machines. Installing new stuff is not easy. It can be
> painful even importing simple python libraries like 'requests'. This jira is
> to add a single docker instance which we can tweak to build the right
> environment for dev-support scripts.
