Allen Wittenauer commented on KAFKA-2203:
-----------------------------------------
We've got a ways to go before we do a release and one of those things is
guidance on how projects should best incorporate it. That said, there is some
usage documentation already there:
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/tree/HADOOP-12111/dev-support/docs ... so
we're not exactly starting from scratch.
I'm doing most of the gradle work in HADOOP-12257 with my dev code currently
sitting in https://github.com/aw-altiscale/hadoop/tree/h12257 (in the
dev-support dir). It's going through a LOT of major changes still (with the
occasional forced update) but feel free to mess around with it. As soon as it
gets more stable, I'll likely ping some folks from the projects I'm currently
playing with (bigtop, samza, kafka) to have a look over since my knowledge of
gradle isn't great.
The biggest thing I need right now are patches that are known to break or
otherwise have bad behavior to see if the code catches it. I've already did
one test against a kafka patch that was out there that caused unit test
failures. Due to junit being used, test-patch picked that up with no code
changes required. Same with bash code changes. It's the scala bits that I
definitely need help with: "this has a scala compile error!" "this has a scala
warning we should flag!" etc. The multiple scala support is a bigger issue that
maybe we'll tackle in the future. I'd want to clean up HADOOP-12337 first
though so that we have a better idea of how to matrix builds.
Thanks!
> Get gradle build to work with Java 8
> ------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-2203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2203
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Gaju Bhat
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.1.2
>
> Attachments: 0001-Special-case-java-8-and-javadoc-handling.patch
>
>
> The gradle build halts because javadoc in java 8 is a lot stricter about
> valid html.
> It might be worthwhile to special case java 8 as described
> [here|http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html].
