I merged a series of patches that will cause Java test failures to be reported to the flaky test dashboard (http://dist-test.cloudera.org:8080). Over the next week or so we should start to see failures percolate in and learn more about which tests are flaky.
Of note: we used to retry every Java test up to three times during precommit; now we're going to mirror C++ test behavior and only retry those tests known to be flaky. This means that we'll probably see an uptick in broken precommit builds while the dashboard collects flaky test data. I'm hoping that'll get resolved within a couple days to a week; I'll keep an eye on it. BTW, thanks to Mike for doing the lion's share of the work on this in his spare time; Will and I just gave it a gentle nudge over the finish line.
