Re: Patch review process

2015-01-26 Thread Andrew Wang
Let's move this over to common-dev@, general@ is normally used for project
announcements rather than discussion topics.

I'd like to summarize a few things mentioned on the private@ thread,
related to streamlining the code submission process.

- Gerrit was brought up again, as it has in the past, as something that
could make the actual process of reviewing and committing a lot easier.
This would be especially helpful for small patches, where the mechanics of
committing can take longer than reviewing the patch.
- There were also concerns about forking discussions between JIRA and
Gerrit. This has been an issue in Spark, and we'd like to keep discussions
and issue tracking centralized.

- Some talk about how to improve precommit. Right now it takes hours to run
the unit tests, which slows down patch iterations. One solution is running
tests in parallel (and even distributed). Previous distributed experiments
have done a full unit test run in a couple minutes, but it'd be a fair
amount of work to actually make this production ready.
- Also mention of putting in place more linting and static analysis.
Automating this will save reviewer time.

Best,
Andrew

 Later on, there was simply no response to the latest patch - even with
 follow-on ping.

 I wish this aspect can be improved.

owning up to me starting that discussion, but it was originally a
meta-discussion I want to start discussing this problem on common-dev ...
just get some agreement that we all felt there was a problem. I believe
that is the case.

If anyone want's to join in in this discussion, we've moved it to the
common-...@hadoop.apache.org list.  Please join in.
