TL;DR: amplab is becomine riselab, and is much more C++ oriented. centos 6 is so far behind, and i'm already having to roll C++ compilers and various libraries by hand. centos 7 is an absolute no-go, so we'll be moving the jenkins workers over to a recent (TBD) version of ubuntu server. also, we'll finally get jenkins upgraded to the latest LTS version, as well as our insanely out of date plugins. riselab (me) will still run the build system, btw.
oh, we'll also have a macOS worker! well, that was still pretty long. :) anyways, you have the gist of it. this is something we're going to do slowly, so as to not interrupt any spark, alluxio or lab builds. i'll be spinning up a master and two worker ubuntu nodes, and then port a couple of builds over and get the major kinks worked out. then, early next year, we can point the new master at the old workers, and one-by-one reinstall and deploy them w/ubuntu. i'll be reaching out to some individuals (you know who you are) as things progress. if we do this right, we'll have minimal service interruptions and end up w/a clean and fresh jenkins. this is the opposite of our current jenkins, which is at least 4 years old and is super-glued and duct-taped together. the ubuntu staging servers should be ready early next week, but i don't foresee much work happening until after thanksgiving. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org
