Reviving the discussion. At this point of time we have couple of stable builds https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-mxnet/job/master/448/ https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-mxnet/job/master/449/
Should we have a quick discussion or polling on making the mx-net branch protected? If you still think we shouldn’t make it protected please provide a reason to support your claim. Few of us have concern over Jenkin’s stability. If I look two weeks back, after upgrading Linux slave to g2.8x and new windows AMI, we have not seen any case where instance died due to high memory usage or any process got killed due to high cpu usage or any other issue with windows slaves. Going forward we are also planning that if we add any new slave we will not enable the main load immediately, but rather will do ‘test build’ to make sure that new slaves are not causing any infrastructure issue and capable to perform as good as existing slaves. -Gautam On 8/31/17, 5:27 PM, "Lupesko, Hagay" <[email protected]> wrote: @madan looking into some failures – you’re right… there’s multiple issues going on, some of them intermittent, and we want to be able to merge fixes in. Agreed that we can wait with setting up protected mode until build stabilizes. On 8/31/17, 11:41, "Madan Jampani" <[email protected]> wrote: @hagay: we agree on the end state. I'm not too particular about how we get there. If you think enabling it now and fixes regression later is doable, I'm fine with. I see a bit of a chicken and egg problem. We need to get some fixes in even when the status checks are failing.
