stack commented on HBASE-14420:
-------------------------------
Have to refine our zombie terminology. There are zombies, tests that stick
around after the test suite has finished.... these are mostly gone now, fixed
or removed, and then there are tests that did not complete because they were
killed by surefire or they completed after they were supposed to but before the
test suite finished and zombie detector had chance to find them.

> Patch build are now failing most of the time because we are dropping zombies.
> I confirm we are doing this on non-apache build boxes too.
> Left-over zombies consume resources on build boxes (OOME cannot create native
> threads). Having to do multiple test runs in the hope that we can get a
> non-zombie-making build or making (arbitrary) rulings that the zombies are
> 'not related' is a productivity sink. And so on...
> This is an umbrella issue for a zombie stomping session that started earlier
> this week. Will hang sub-issues of this one. Am running builds back-to-back
> on little cluster to turn out the monsters.
