--------------------------------------
Summary: Add Zinc to bigtop_toolchain so that it may be used by
Spark builds
Key: BIGTOP-1752
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1752
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: spark, toolchain
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Jonathan Kelly
Assignee: Jonathan Kelly
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9.0
The Zinc Nailgun server can be used to speed up compilation of Scala projects
(like Spark) considerably. For example, building Spark without Zinc running
takes about 26 mins in my experience, but with Zinc running it takes only about
14 mins.
This patch causes Zinc to be installed in /usr/local/zinc by the
bigtop_toolchain, though it must still be started by whatever process (e.g.,
Jenkins) executes the build by running "/usr/local/zinc/bin/zinc -start" before
kicking off the build.
See https://github.com/typesafehub/zinc and
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-spark.html#speeding-up-compilation-with-zinc
for more information about Zinc and using it with a Spark build.
