Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-11843:
----------------------------------------
After some digging, I found that Docker has a known issue with poor performance
of volume mounts on Mac/boot2docker:
https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/593
This issue has been resolved as a duplicate, and they point to a new feature
for utilizing NFS mounts as the proposed solution:
https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/64
This issue is still open.
As it stands, I don't believe this is usable on Mac in its current form. I
just retested to check the performance boost reported by Allen when using the
Oracle JDK, but I still don't think the performance is anywhere near
acceptable. That's unfortunate, since a lot of developers like Macs.
Something else I can try is "real" Docker (not boot2docker) running in a Linux
VM hosted by VirtualBox. I do get acceptable disk performance from my
VirtualBox VMs, so maybe one extra layer of indirection from Docker in there
won't hurt.

> ( As discussed with [~aw] )
> In AVRO-1537 a docker based solution was created to setup all the tools for
> doing a full build. This enables much easier reproduction of any issues and
> getting up and running for new developers.
> This issue is to 'copy/port' that setup into the hadoop project in
> preparation for the bug squash.
