[Cross-posting, as this affects the rest of the project] Hey folks-
As discussed last month [1], the HDFS build hasn't been healthy recently. We're dedicating a bug bash to stabilize the build and address some longstanding issues with our unit tests. We rely on our CI infrastructure to keep the project releasable, and in its current state, it's not protecting us from regressions. While we probably won't achieve all our goals in this session, we can develop the conditions for reestablishing a firm foundation. If you're new to the project, please consider attending and contributing. Committers often prioritize large or complicated patches, and the issues that make the project livable don't get enough attention. A bug bash is a great opportunity to pull reviewers' collars, and fix the annoyances that slow us all down. If you're a committer, please join us! While some of the proposed repairs are rote, many unit tests rely on implementation details and non-obvious invariants. We need domain experts to help untangle complex dependencies and to prevent breakage of deliberate, but counter-intuitive code. We're collecting tasks in wiki [2] and will include a dial-in option for folks who aren't local. Meetup has started charging for creating new events, so we'll have to find another way to get an approximate headcount and publish the address. Please ping me if you have a preferred alternative. -C [1]: https://s.apache.org/nEoQ [2]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75965105 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
