Mark Miller commented on SOLR-5775:
-----------------------------------
I'm certainly not the only one that knows. Not many others that look at Solr
tests and know Solr well are vocal is all. People that only focus on Lucene or
sub sections of Solr of course will have a harder time. Or people that don't
follow JIRA and the commit mail list.
Running some tests only at release is a terrible idea. It will be almost
impossible to track down what caused a problem without faster feedback.
It's not that I am the only one that can say if a failure is real or not - I
simply appear to be the only one interested in looking closely. It's not rocket
science.
Real help is important, not lazy help. These are not hard problems, they just
take time and I have very little assistance.

> Currently, solr tests are failing 90%+ of the time. We've been through this
> before many times, the argument is always that someone is looking at the
> failures and knows which ones are bad.
> This argument is a lie. Nobody is watching these failures, or
> DistributedQueryComponentOptimizationTest would not have failed repeatedly
> for two straight days when the fix was trivial (I fixed this last night:
> http://svn.apache.org/r1571930)
> Its frustrating to me as a committer, solr tests *NEVER* pass on my machine,
> no matter how many times I try. How can i possibly commit something without
> knowing i am making the situation even worse?
> This is all a big problem for developers, release managers, even users of the
> project. The test suite should pass.
> The old argument that "solr tests are allowed to fail" is no longer valid. I
> will disable all constantly failing tests.
