Mickael Maison commented on KAFKA-13671:
----------------------------------------
I've opened a PR to run unit tests on the ppc64le node. It looks like there's a
permission issue as tests are failing to access /tmp:
For example:
java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException:
/tmp/kafka-streams/dummy-topology-test-driver-app-id--1504216085/0_0/.checkpoint
See

> Support for Power architecture (ppc64le) for apache kafka.
> What is IBM Power architecture?
> It is a RISC architecture and IBM has recently made its ISA (Instruction Set
> Architecture) opensource and in doing so, they have significantly contributed
> back to the opensource community at large. Many of the pioneers of banking
> and HPC industries today run on ppc64le architecture.
> As an ongoing effort to enable open-source projects where Power architecture
> can add value, we are trying to enable kafka on Power.
> IBM has already donated a ppc64le ubuntu VM to the community to be added to
> the jenkins cluster for Apache Kafka builds. The VM spec has been reviewed in
> the community and deemed suitable for kafka builds.
> Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22612
> I can help with the work needed to add new jenkins job for Power.
