Ted Yu created FLINK-8036: ----------------------------- Summary: Consider using gradle to build Flink Key: FLINK-8036 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8036 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ted Yu
Here is summary from Lukasz over this thread (http://search-hadoop.com/m/Beam/gfKHFVh4NM151XIu1?subj=Re+DISCUSS+Move+away+from+Apache+Maven+as+build+tool) w.r.t. performance boost from using gradle: Maven performs parallelization at the module level, an entire module needs to complete before any dependent modules can start, this means running all the checks like findbugs, checkstyle, tests need to finish. Gradle has task level parallelism between subprojects which means that as soon as the compile and shade steps are done for a project, and dependent subprojects can typically start. This means that we get increased parallelism due to not needing to wait for findbugs, checkstyle, tests to run. I typically see ~20 tasks (at peak) running on my desktop in parallel. Flink should consider using gradle - on Linux with SSD, a clean build takes an hour. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
