@gharris1727 the Github action runners are VMs that aren't reused, so every build should be starting from a clean slate. If we ever use self-hosted runners, we would need to take care that we clean up the workspace since those can be re-used. The Gradle cache holds a lot more than just our generated files. If you take a look here https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/caches, there are 600+ MB of dependencies downloaded on each build that can restored from a cache. I think it this can help our build times. This whole effort is still experimental, but my aim is to let `trunk` builds populate the cache and PRs restore that cache. If it works as intended, it will allow PRs to have `UP-TO-DATE` and `FROM-CACHE` tasks for things that haven't changed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
