--------------------------------------
Summary: Avoiding building all the backend tests when running a
packaging build
Key: IMPALA-12288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12288
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
Reporter: Joe McDonnell
When using the new packaging functionality in IMPALA-10262, the command
"buildall.sh -package -release -notests" still builds all of the backend tests.
Currently, the "-notests" flag doesn't change the list of targets generated by
CMake. Instead, "-notests" changes the make target that is built by
buildall.sh. So, the test targets still exist, but they aren't built.
cpack seems to invoke a plain "make" with no target, and this builds everything
including the tests.
To avoid this, we would need a mode that tells CMake to avoid generating the
test targets altogether. This could be very useful for a packaging build,
because the backend tests take up significant time and disk space to build.
