Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1537: ------------------------------------ I like the idea of not running as root within the container. It'd be great if we can get this to work. File ownership in ~/.m2/repository also won't be fixed unless we can run as the same user, right? > Make it easier to set up a multi-language build environment > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-1537 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1537 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Martin Kleppmann > Assignee: Tom White > Attachments: AVRO-1537.patch, AVRO-1537.patch, AVRO-1537.patch > > > It's currently quite tedious to set up an environment in which the Avro test > suites for all supported languages can be run, and in which release > candidates can be built. This is especially so when we need to test against > several different versions of a programming language or VM (e.g. > JDK6/JDK7/JDK8, Ruby 1.8.7/1.9.3/2.0/2.1). > Our shared Hudson server isn't an ideal solution, because it only runs tests > on changes that are already committed, and maintenance of the server can't > easily be shared across the community. > I think a Docker image might be a good solution, since it could be set up by > one person, shared with all Avro developers, and maintained by the community > on an ongoing basis. But other VM solutions (Vagrant, for example?) might > work just as well.
