----------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove auto-installation of golang when generating native
protocol doc pages
Key: CASSANDRA-20678
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20678
Project: Apache Cassandra
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build, Documentation
Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
Assignee: Michael Semb Wever
CASSANDRA-19915 introduced the cqlprotodoc tool to auto-generate our native
protocol doc pages. We use this tool in-tree in
{{doc/scripts/process-native-protocol-specs-in-docker.sh}}
The cqlprotodoc tool uses golang, and the original patch (and improvement in
CASSANDRA-20422) auto-downloads and installs golang.
This is a security risk and: even with due checksumming of downloaded artefacts
in place; is to removed. The installation of tools/languages in the build
process also introduces pain-points for downstream users in corporate
environments.
ML discussion: https://lists.apache.org/thread/24gcf4nyh8mjvjllnnx8tj85252gn3ro
The agreement is to remove the auto-download/install, and to hard fail when go
is not available, also providing information in the failure message on how the
gen-doc ant command can be skipped.
