The latest migration status: if the jenkins builds are happy then the patch will go in -I do that monday morning 10:00 UTC
https://builds.apache.org/view/H-L/view/Hadoop/ Getting jenkins to work has been "surprisingly difficult"...it turns out that those builds which we thought were java7 or java8 weren't, as setting export JAVA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/java/latest meant that they picked up a java 6 machine Now the trunk precommit/postcommit and scheduled branches should have export JAVA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/java/jdk1.7.0_55 the Java 8 builds have more changes export JAVA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/java/jdk1.8.0 export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx3072m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m" and -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true on the mvn builds without these javadocs fails and test runs OOM. We need to have something resembling the nightly build env setup again, git/Svn stored file with something for java8 alongside the normal env vars. -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
