Dear Impala contributors, I regret to inform the community that the upstream Jenkins service is currently experiencing multiple waves of sustained DDoS attacks, which are interfering with normal operations.
As a mitigation measure, I have temporarily disabled anonymous access to Jenkins. This should reduce the load on the service to a level that allows pre-commit services to continue unimpeded. The suspension is intended to be temporary until the Jenkins maintainers figure out a more sophisticated way to protect the Jenkins instance from these attacks. Unfortunately this also prevents non-committers from using the gerrit-verify-dryrun-external convenience job. Committer access is unchanged, but it is now mandatory to log int to Jenkins before being able to use the service. Non-committer contributors are kindly asked to reach out to committers (e.g. on this list, or on the Gerrit reviews) to run gerrit-verify dryrun or gerrit-verify-dryrun-external on their behalf. Please note that the Impala Gerrit review service is not impacted; patch submission and review operations continue unchanged. Further changes and developments will be communicated on this list as soon as they happen. Thank you for your support, - LaszloG
