             Summary: Add size threshold for mavens target directory
                 Key: HIVE-28989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28989
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Stamatis Zampetakis
            Assignee: Stamatis Zampetakis


The target directory tends to store all kind of information from jar artifacts to test logs, reports, and many other things. It is not uncommon, that small seemingly innocent changes (e.g., adding a new test, refactoring) can make the target directory unreasonably large consuming many GB of disk space. When such changes sneak into the project there is a high risk of causing CI/CD instability and intermittent failures that may be hard to debug and fix. Quite recently we have seen such disk based failures in CI (HIVE-28954) that were somehow mitigated by fixing HIVE-28955.

In order to prevent these disk based problems to go unnoticed, we should implement a check that raises an error when the target directory becomes unreasonably large. It mostly makes sense to implement this check after the tests have run since they are among the main culprits that can increase disk usage.
