------------------------------------------
Summary: Add CI build jobs that do nothing except rebuild the
docker image(s) if necessary to avoid timeouts
Key: THRIFT-4153
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4153
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Process
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Environment: Travis CI
Reporter: James E. King, III
Assignee: James E. King, III
Priority: Critical
In the Travis CI environment if someone modifies a docker image, the build
system has to rebuild the image. This is expensive and takes a while, and
usually causes one of the first five build jobs to fail. In addition the image
is rebuilt multiple times.
The improvement here is to have a set of docker image verificaion/rebuild jobs
that run before the other build jobs. Each one will simply load up the docker
image, see if it needs to be rebuilt, and rebuilt it. If it is possible to
express dependencies between Travis CI jobs, then we can add dependencies so
that once the docker image has been rebuilt, certain jobs can start running.
This is typically seen when someone needs to rev the docker image. Their pull
request causes docker images to be rebuilt, and it can timeout a build job.
Then their build fails, and the build job that queues behind it will have to
rebuild the docker image back to what's based on master, so it will probably
timeout too.
