---------------------------------------------

             Summary: rat targets do not adhere to build.dir property
                 Key: CASSANDRA-18183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18183
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
            Reporter: Stefan Miklosovic


I detected this when I was trying to put my build dir to ramdisk. I have plenty 
of RAM available on my workstation (64GB) and I was thinking about moving 
"build" dir to ramdisk so I could make it faster a little bit and also spare 
some write cycles to ssd. It can look like irrelevant improvement but I think 
that if devs are build the project repeatedly times and times again, this can 
easily add up.

{code}
mkdir /tmp/cassandra
# in /etc/fstab
tmpfs /tmp/cassandra tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=2048M,x-gvfs-show,mode=1777 0 0
# then sudo mount -a
# I have worktree setup so the build for each branch will end up in different 
dir:
# mkdir -p 
/tmp/cassandra/{trunk,cassandra-4.1,cassandra-4.0,cassandra-3.11,cassandra-3.0}
{code}

Then in build.properties for each respective branch:

{code}
ant.gen-doc.skip: true
build.dir: /tmp/cassandra/trunk/build
build.dir.lib: /tmp/cassandra/trunk/build/lib
{code}

The problem with this is that it fails on rat, because there is not "build.dir" 
property used, it is hardcoded to "build" but there is not anything to rat on 
so it will hang.
