shane knapp created SPARK-14905: ----------------------------------- Summary: create conda environments w/locked package versions Key: SPARK-14905 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14905 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: Build Reporter: shane knapp
right now, the package dependency story for the jenkins build system is... well... non-existent. packages are installed, and only rarely (if ever) updated. when a new anaconda or system python library is installed or updated for a specific user/build requirement, this will randomly update and/or install other packages that may or may not have backwards compatibility. we've survived for a number of years so far without looking to deal with the technical debt, but i don't see how this will remain manageable, especially as spark, and other projects hosted on jenkins grow. example: currently, a non-spark amplab project (e-mission) needs scipy updated from 0.15.1 to 0.17.0 for their tests to pass. this simple upgrade adds three new python libraries (ligbfortran, mkl, wheel) and updates eleven others (conda, conda-env, numpy, openssl, pip, python, pyyaml, requests, setuptools, sqlite, yaml). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
