Abhijit commented on KAFKA-13671:
---------------------------------
On the ppc64le VM provided to community, I built kafka & ran UT and IT. All
passed (one failure that passed on re-run). jdk-11 and scala-2.13 was used.
Logs attached.
I am yet to hear back on the Jira
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22612). A jenkins build stage can
be added for ppc64le once the Jira is worked on and a jenkins node label for
the ppc64le vm is provided.
> Power (ppc64le) support for kafka
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-13671
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13671
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Reporter: Abhijit
> Priority: Major
>
> Support for Power architecture (ppc64le) for apache kafka.
> What is IBM Power architecture?
> It is a RISC architecture and IBM has recently made its ISA (Instruction Set
> Architecture) opensource and in doing so, they have significantly contributed
> back to the opensource community at large. Many of the pioneers of banking
> and HPC industries today run on ppc64le architecture.
> As an ongoing effort to enable open-source projects where Power architecture
> can add value, we are trying to enable kafka on Power.
> IBM has already donated a ppc64le ubuntu VM to the community to be added to
> the jenkins cluster for Apache Kafka builds. The VM spec has been reviewed in
> the community and deemed suitable for kafka builds.
> Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22612
> I can help with the work needed to add new jenkins job for Power.
