jenkins test already sent out email notification, but appear to be stuck

[Yongjun Zhang <yz...@cloudera.com>]

HI,

I saw this couple of times lately: A jenkins test job have finished running
test, updating the corresponding jira and sending out email notification.
However, the test report is not ready at the the link sent in the email,
and the console link shows that the job is still running.

I wonder if anyone saw the same problem and has insight into what's going
on.

e.g. email notification received says:

Test results:
https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/4335//testReport/
Console output:
https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/4335//console


Clicking on the testReport link sent me to

  https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/4335//

without test report, and Clicking on the console link sent me to:

https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/4335/consoleFull

which shows the job is still running:

Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

  <== rotating circle indicating it's still running, maybe "waiting for a
checkpoint..."


I saw it will eventually get out of this state, but it takes very long time
(don't know how long). This symptom appears to be intermittent.

Thanks.
