Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-14420: --------------------------------------- Mostly awesome. > Zombie Stomping Session > ----------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14420 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14420 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Umbrella > Components: test > Reporter: stack > Assignee: stack > Priority: Critical > Attachments: hangers.txt, none_fix (1).txt, none_fix.txt, > none_fix.txt, none_fix.txt, none_fix.txt, none_fix.txt, none_fix.txt, > none_fix.txt > > > Patch build are now failing most of the time because we are dropping zombies. > I confirm we are doing this on non-apache build boxes too. > Left-over zombies consume resources on build boxes (OOME cannot create native > threads). Having to do multiple test runs in the hope that we can get a > non-zombie-making build or making (arbitrary) rulings that the zombies are > 'not related' is a productivity sink. And so on... > This is an umbrella issue for a zombie stomping session that started earlier > this week. Will hang sub-issues of this one. Am running builds back-to-back > on little cluster to turn out the monsters. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
