Colin Patrick McCabe created HADOOP-8887: --------------------------------------------
Summary: Use a Maven plugin to build the native code using CMake Key: HADOOP-8887 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8887 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: build Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe Priority: Minor Currently, we build the native code using ant-build invocations. Although this works, it has some limitations: * compiler warning messages are hidden, which can cause people to check in code with warnings unintentionally * there is no framework for running native unit tests; instead, we use ad-hoc constructs involving shell scripts * the antrun code is very platform specific * there is no way to run a specific native unit test * it's more or less impossible for scripts like test-patch.sh to separate a native test failing from the build itself failing (no files are created) or to enumerate which native tests failed. Using a native Maven plugin would overcome these limitations. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
