Jonathan Kelly commented on BIGTOP-1752:
----------------------------------------

[~evans_ye], I just tried for the first time with the Ubuntu 14.0 docker image and experienced the same thing with it hanging indefinitely. I wonder if it has anything to do with running as root? That's my first thought but have not dug deeper into it to figure out what's going wrong.

> The Zinc Nailgun server can be used to speed up compilation of Scala projects (like Spark) considerably.  For example, building Spark without Zinc running takes about 26 mins in my experience, but with Zinc running it takes only about 14 mins.
> This patch causes Zinc to be installed in /usr/local/zinc by the bigtop_toolchain, though it must still be started by whatever process (e.g., Jenkins) executes the build by running "/usr/local/zinc/bin/zinc -start" before kicking off the build.
> See https://github.com/typesafehub/zinc and http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-spark.html#speeding-up-compilation-with-zinc for more information about Zinc and using it with a Spark build.
