             Summary: Consider using gradle to build Flink
                 Key: FLINK-8036
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8036
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ted Yu


Here is summary from Lukasz over this thread (http://search-hadoop.com/m/Beam/gfKHFVh4NM151XIu1?subj=Re+DISCUSS+Move+away+from+Apache+Maven+as+build+tool) w.r.t. performance boost from using gradle:

Maven performs parallelization at the module level, an entire module needs
to complete before any dependent modules can start, this means running all
the checks like findbugs, checkstyle, tests need to finish. Gradle has task
level parallelism between subprojects which means that as soon as the
compile and shade steps are done for a project, and dependent subprojects
can typically start. This means that we get increased parallelism due to
not needing to wait for findbugs, checkstyle, tests to run. I typically see
~20 tasks (at peak) running on my desktop in parallel.

Flink should consider using gradle - on Linux with SSD, a clean build takes an hour.
