In the case of hbase-trx, the build runs multiple passes over the code in order to build multiple versions of the jar file for compatibility with multiple distros of HBase.
Unfortunately, the build works by creating and removing multiple versions of intermediate objects, which of course causes them to rebuild every single time. The way it SHOULD work is to build each version of source/objects in version-specific directories and not delete them, so that rebuilds do not do the same work over again. --Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Birdsall [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 11:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: make all suboptimal? > > Hi, > > Dumb question time. > > Scenario: > > I have a Trafodion development instance with a clean build.
