bq. They talk about updating Jenkins but that didn't look to happen?
Multiple runners were introduced in Jenkins CI with CASSANDRA-13078.
We only recently undid it, in CASSANDRA-15651, when the code went from `ant
test` (and `ant test-all`) to testclasslist. The former targets depend on
`get-cores` and `get-mem, but the latter do not.

> Improvements in circle CI default config

> Key: CASSANDRA-15686
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15686
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Kevin Gallardo
> Priority: Normal
>
> I have been looking at and played around with the [default CircleCI
> config|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/.circleci/config.yml],
> a few comments/questions regarding the following topics:
> * Python dtests do not run successfully (200-300 failures) on {{medium}}
> instances, they seem to only run with small flaky failures on {{large}}
> instances or higher
> * Python Upgrade tests:
> ** Do not seem to run without many failures on any instance types / any
> parallelism setting
> ** Do not seem to parallelize well, it seems each container is going to
> download multiple C* versions
> ** Additionally it seems the configuration is not up to date, as currently
> we get errors because {{JAVA8_HOME}} is not set
> * Unit tests do not seem to parallelize optimally, number of test runners do
> not reflect the available CPUs on the container. Ideally if # of runners == #
> of CPUs, build time is improved, on any type of instances.
> ** For instance when using the current configuration, running on medium
> instances, build will use 1 junit test runner, but 2 CPUs are available. If
> using 2 runners, the build time is reduced from 19min (at the current main
> config of parallelism=4) to 12min.
> * There are some typos in the file, some dtests say "Run Unit Tests" but
> they are JVM dtests (see
> [here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/.circleci/config.yml#L1077],
>
> [here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/.circleci/config.yml#L1386])
> So some ways to process these would be:
> * Do the Python dtests run successfully for anyone on {{medium}} instances?
> If not, would it make sense to bump them to {{large}} so that they can be run
> successfully?
> * Does anybody ever run the python upgrade tests on CircleCI and what is the
> configuration that makes it work?
> * Would it make sense to either hardcode the number of test runners in the
> unit tests with `-Dtest.runners` in the config file to reflect the number of
> CPUs on the instances, or change the build so that it is able to detect the
> appropriate number of core available automatically?
> Additionally, it seems this default config file (config.yml) is not as well
> maintained as the
> [{{config-2_1.yml}}|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/.circleci/config-2_1.yml]
> (+its lowres/highres) version in the same folder (from CASSANDRA-14806).
> What is the reasoning for maintaining these 2 versions of the build? Could
> the better maintained version be used as the default? We could generate a
> lowres version of the new config-2_1.yml, and rename it {{config.yml}} so
> that it gets picked up by CircleCI automatically instead of the current
> default.
