Hi Enrico, all,

TL;DR: Builds of 3.6.2 pass with 8 (!) cores on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and
NixOS 20.03.

Okay; I did a bit more experimentation.

As I mentioned, the builds which exhibited flakiness were run in a VM.
That was not a "weak" VM, however: KVM, 4 cores, 16 GiB, backed by an
Intel i7 CPU.

I notably tried with an Ubuntu live DVD and builds on /tmp (tmpfs).
Using "only" 4 cores results in frequent failures, but allocating 8
cores to the VM seemingly allows builds to SUCCEED.

I don't know if 8 cores is considered a reasonable requirement for the
test suite.


I also tried on a (real) NixOS laptop with 8 logical processors and 16
GiB of RAM; that build passed.  Which means that so far, I have seen
builds succeed on:

  * Ubuntu 20.04;
  * Ubuntu 18.04;
  * NixOS 20.03.

I have experienced frequent failures when building 3.6.1 with tests on a
6-core Xeon with 64 GiB RAM.  That machine plays the role of a shared
"build server," so other users can cause varying utilization.  But
still, it is no slouch, and utilization was relatively low when I
observed these issues—so I was a bit surprised to see such failures.


I guess I should try building master on these various configurations (I
haven't seen that kind of trouble there).


Best,
Damien


P.-S. — For the record, here is the procedure I used (starting from the
bare live Ubuntu DVD):

    sudo add-apt-repository universe

    sudo apt install \
        autoconf \
        build-essential \
        git \
        libcppunit-dev \
        libsasl2-dev \
        libtool-bin \
        maven \
        openjdk-11-jdk-headless \
        pkg-config

    rsync -av --delete /mnt/zookeeper/ /tmp/zookeeper/
    cd /tmp/zookeeper

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

    LC_ALL=C mvn install -Pfull-build 2>&1 |
        tee /mnt/ubuntu-mvn-tests.log


And here is an example of failure—clearly a time out:

    [ERROR] 
testJvmPauseMonitorExceedWarnThreshold(org.apache.zookeeper.server.util.JvmPauseMonitorTest)
  Time elapsed: 5.119 s  <<< ERROR!
    org.junit.runners.model.TestTimedOutException: test timed out after 5000 
milliseconds
        at 
app//org.apache.zookeeper.server.util.JvmPauseMonitorTest.testJvmPauseMonitorExceedWarnThreshold(JvmPauseMonitorTest.java:54)


Here is another example, somewhat more murky (possibly related to some
kind of race condition):

    [ERROR] 
testWatchAutoResetWithPending(org.apache.zookeeper.test.WatcherTest)  Time 
elapsed: 0.083 s  <<< FAILURE!
    java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected bean exists! expected:<0> but was:<1>
        at org.apache.zookeeper.test.WatcherTest.setUp(WatcherTest.java:84)


I can provide more logs if we decide to open a ticket to track this topic.
