Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-1114: ----------------------------------------- > I look at this as a 60% speedup in my development cycle rather than a few % > speedup in the full build. I agree with this logic. My most common development cycle is to run a single unit test. For Avro this takes just a few seconds, and I'm willing to wait without finding a new task to work on. With Hadoop this takes long enough that I switch to doing something else, lose my context, etc. Improving this significantly will significantly improve many developers productivity. I wonder if we can simply check if build/ivy/lib/Hadoop-Hdfs/{common,test} exist, and, if they do, assumes they're up-to-date, and only runs Ivy otherwise.
