alright, builds are looking solid except for SBT...  if someone here could
take a look at those failures i'd be most appreciative.

the important ones:  PRB, PRB-K8s, k8s, snapshot and maven builds all
green!

i'm literally gobsmacked by how smoothly this went.  :)

we're all going to enjoy a mellow holiday and i'll check build statuses
every now and then and see if i find anything else like this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33565

have a great holiday everyone!  we'll start getting the new primary set up
on monday, and hopefully by tuesday be fully up and running.

hey all, work is going quite well and smoothly for this project.

today's update:

we will experience significant downtime monday/tuesday as we spin up the
new primary jenkins node.  until then, we'll be building over the next few
days so i'll have a chance to better track down and fix any system-level
build breaks.

but most importantly, i just added 3 of the 4 new ubuntu 20.04 workers to
the pool:  research-jenkins-worker-03, 04 and 06.  -05 is being difficult,
so i'm going to let it pout in the corner for a while before hitting it
again w/the ansible cannon.

 this is a lengthy, but important read for everyone here.

 in the next few days, the remaining centos machines (PRB/SBT workers
 AND primary) will have be reimaged from centos6.9 to ubuntu 20.04LTS.

 this means three important things on the very near horizon:
 1 -- the PRB and SBT tests WILL BE BROKEN (by thanksgiving)
 2 -- jenkins itself will be down for a while as we move the jenkins
 installation to it's new home.
 3 -- those of you with accounts here will temporarily lose access

 regarding (1), brian (cced) will be helping me debug and fix any
 system-level bugs (python envs, missing packages, etc).  jon (cced) will be
 doing the reimaging and cobbling together of hardware to keep us on our
 feet.  their help is going to be invaluable to getting us back on the
 ground.

 we already have two ubuntu 20 workers up and building
 (research-jenkins-worker-0[1,2]), and the SparkPullRequestBuilder-K8s build
 is already green.  i'll keep an eye on these workers to ensure i didn't
 miss anything.

 once we have a couple of more ubuntu 20 machines up, i'll move the PRB
 and SBT builds there and let them fail as often as possible so we can use
 the build logs during the migration of the primary.

 then we shut down jenkins and move to the new primary.

 this will all be happening in the next week to week-and-a-half.

 nearish on the horizon, we need to do two things:
 1 -- reimage the ubuntu 16 workers
 2 -- clean up the all of the breakages within jenkins plugin universe.
 there's a lot of stacktraces everywhere after the upgrade, but things are
 still building so i'm inclined to push this out.
 3 -- fix the PRB/SBT builds.

 further off, once we're stable, we (the spark community) will need to
 have an honest conversation about where the build system lives.  we don't
 currently have enough

due to scheduling, upcoming holiday and in-the-colo work requirements, all
of the centos workers are being wiped NOW.

this is great, as the sooner we can get started on fixing builds the
better.  i'm not going anywhere over the holiday, so i'll get a good

[build system] IMPORTANT UPDATE

2020-11-24 Thread shane knapp ☠
this is a lengthy, but important read for everyone here.

in the next few days, the remaining centos machines (PRB/SBT workers AND
primary) will have be reimaged from centos6.9 to ubuntu 20.04LTS.

this means three important things on the very near horizon:
1 -- the PRB and SBT tests WILL BE BROKEN (by thanksgiving)
2 -- jenkins itself will be down for a while as we move the jenkins
installation to it's new home.
3 -- those of you with accounts here will temporarily lose access

regarding (1), brian (cced) will be helping me debug and fix any
system-level bugs (python envs, missing packages, etc).  jon (cced) will be
doing the reimaging and cobbling together of hardware to keep us on our
feet.  their help is going to be invaluable to getting us back on the
ground.

we already have two ubuntu 20 workers up and building
(research-jenkins-worker-0[1,2]), and the SparkPullRequestBuilder-K8s build
is already green.  i'll keep an eye on these workers to ensure i didn't
miss anything.

once we have a couple of more ubuntu 20 machines up, i'll move the PRB and
SBT builds there and let them fail as often as possible so we can use the
build logs during the migration of the primary.

then we shut down jenkins and move to the new primary.

this will all be happening in the next week to week-and-a-half.

nearish on the horizon, we need to do two things:
1 -- reimage the ubuntu 16 workers
2 -- clean up the all of the breakages within jenkins plugin universe.
there's a lot of stacktraces everywhere after the upgrade, but things are
still building so i'm inclined to push this out.
3 -- fix the PRB/SBT builds.

further off, once we're stable, we (the spark community) will need to have
an honest conversation about where the build system lives.  we don't
currently have enough resources here to manage the system in a way that it
deserves, and i can't forsee getting the staffing for long-term support any
time soon.

however, with the ansible configs (which i plan on moving to the spark
repo), it should be much easier to replicate the build system.

by this time next year, i would like to have helped find the build system a
new home, and sunset jenkins.  over the past 11 years (i think), this
system has built spark.  it's getting a little tired and needs a well
deserved break.  :)
