Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-7114:
---------------------------------------
bq. Bugs get fixed by the developers quickly, but then take weeks to find their
way into a build, yet the builds are still horrendously unstable, so whats the
point of all the delay?
I think this should again be brought up on the Hotspot mailing list. I already
did this on the core-dev list, but the people there are different and they
don't have the problems. Non-Hotspot fixes get it into the EA builds quite fast.
The problem are Hotspot fixes. As noted in my article about FOSDEM (which was
titled "How free is OpenJDK in German"; see
https://jaxenter.com/java-9-steals-spotlight-open-jdk-project-takes-back-123721.html),
the problems in Hotspot are more complicated. Also other non-Oracle
developers, e.g. from SAP, were complaining about the processes inside Hotspot
and how patches get accepted. There is also a separate test suite that is not
public! Before this one not passes, it does not get into EA builds and so on.
To me it looks like there is a lot of additional bureaucratic "quality" control
behind the scenes that delay inclusion into the EA builds. It looks like the
stuff is merged several times to other branches (check out JIRA about that).
The frightening fact is: these "quality" checks don't ensure quality, as we all
see. So it would be better to remove that bureaucracy and let the community
test as soon as the patch is committed to repository. We should mention that
over an over on conferences, discussions, and the mailing lists.
