Abhijit updated KAFKA-13671:
----------------------------
Description:
Support for Power architecture (ppc64le) for apache kafka.
What is IBM Power architecture?
It is a RISC architecture and IBM has recently made its ISA (Instruction Set
Architecture) opensource and in doing so, they have significantly contributed
back to the opensource community at large. Many of the pioneers of banking and
HPC industries today run on ppc64le architecture.
As an ongoing effort to enable open-source projects where Power architecture
can add value, we are trying to enable kafka on Power.
IBM has already donated a ppc64le ubuntu VM to the community to be added to the
jenkins cluster for Apache Kafka builds. The VM spec has been reviewed in the
community and deemed suitable for kafka builds.
Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22612
I can help with the work needed to add new jenkins job for Power.
