Five minute survey: help in research and win 100 USD gift card

[Akond Rahman]

Greetings Cassandra Contributors,

I am Akond, a researcher at North Carolina State University, and I am
conducting a survey to understand different factors that influence the
usage of Jenkins.

In the survey, no personal information will be collected, and randomly
selected two participants will get a 100 USD Amazon gift card. The survey
takes around 5~7 minutes to complete. If you agree to participate in the
survey please click on the link below.

I really would appreciate your help in my research, and thanks in advance.

Failing tests 2016-08-01 [cassandra-3.9]

[Joel Knighton]

testall:

org.apache.cassandra.index.CustomIndexTest.customIndexRejectsExpressionSyntax-compression
CASSANDRA-12353. Patch available. Assignee Sam Tunnicliffe, needs
reviewer. Small fix where the previous fix wasn't exhaustive. Easy review
if you want to get involved!


org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.BlacklistingCompactionsTest.testBlacklistingWithSizeTieredCompactionStrategy
CASSANDRA-12359. New flaky failure. Google suggests this test has
flaked a few times historically. Needs an assignee who is familiar with
compaction.

=

dtest:
  
materialized_views_test.TestMaterializedViews.add_write_survey_node_after_mv_test
CASSANDRA-12140. Open. Assignee Carl Yeksigian. Needs analysis and a
fix.

=

novnode_dtest:
  
materialized_views_test.TestMaterializedViews.add_dc_after_mv_simple_replication_test
CASSANDRA-12267. Open. Assigned for triage, looks like the same issue
as CASSANDRA-12140 to me.


materialized_views_test.TestMaterializedViews.add_write_survey_node_after_mv_test
CASSANDRA-12140. Same as the vnode failure above.

  repair_tests.incremental_repair_test.TestIncRepair.sstable_marking_test
CASSANDRA-12264. Open. Assignee Marcus Eriksson. Problem is unknown,
still needs analysis and a fix.

=

dtest_upgrade:
  134 failures, up from 119. CASSANDRA-12236 is still in review with the
patch being iterated upon. After that is merged, triage should become more
feasible.

=

TL;DR: The upgrade dtests are still the highest risk to releasing on
schedule. Failures in materialized_views_test have increased lately; it
looks like they could be the same source issue (discussed on
CASSANDRA-12164) so may be resolved together. Unit tests are looking quite
stable - at this point, we're just working through the backlog of flaky
tests. Thanks for all the hard work on getting all tests to passing.
