Hi all, As there is currently not great visibility into the nightly builds and tests that crossbow runs, it's not surprising that many of them are failing. See https://github.com/ursa-labs/crossbow/branches/all?page=2&query=nightly-624&utf8=%E2%9C%93 for the builds and https://github.com/ursa-labs/crossbow/branches/all?page=2&query=nightly-625&utf8=%E2%9C%93 for the tests.
I did some triage and ticketing today, and there appear to be 15 distinct issues (fittingly enough for the 0.15 release) . See https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ARROW%20AND%20priority%20%3D%20Blocker%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.15.0%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Continuous%20Integration%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC I labeled all of them as "blockers" because the builds we care about should be all green if we're doing a release. So a satisfactory resolution to some of these may be to skip (adding another Jira to unskip them in the future) or delete the crossbow job because we have decided that we don't care about them. Better to make the active decision not to care about things than to have a bunch of failing builds that we have to know that it's ok to ignore. I assigned a few tickets to people that I know to have maintained relevant bits of code, but most are unassigned, so volunteers are needed. Ask not what Apache Arrow can do for you, ask what you can do for Apache Arrow! Neal
