Mark Grover commented on BIGTOP-1218:
-------------------------------------
Hey Cos, maybe I misunderstood you, sorry. If you call installing JDK7 forcing,
then sure we are forcing and the refactoring is not going to change that
forcing because the default installer would be installing the JDK7 by default,
both before and after the refactoring.
As far as what's standing in the path, I need to do some reading on how to
express dependencies in puppet since JDK6 and JDK7 would have the same
dependency of adding a repo, accepting the license, etc and make such actions
idempotent, since they currently aren't. This page
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ordering.html) seems like a good start but
I am swamped with some other stuff so wouldn't get a chance to do justice to it
in the next few days.
My rationale here is to be considerate to the folks that rely on us for their
infrastructure and hive does so for their pre-commit jobs and as a member of
the Hive community, I want to help out. My end goal is to unblock
[~brocknoland] who's been waiting for a few weeks for this now. While I do
think the refactoring is worthwhile and something I am planning to do real
soon, I am personally in favor of committing this now and unblocking Brock and
doing that refactoring in the next week or two.
