------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll admit that it's been a while since I looked at it.   But at least for Apache Yetus-based precommits, if the GH PR would simply change/update the patch available status on the associated JIRA, that would go a long way towards it working.

> It would be really useful to be able to trigger a Jenkins rebuild for a GitHub pull request when the build fails due to a transient problem (ie flaky tests and/or environmental issues). Despite our best efforts, it's hard to eliminate all flaky tests from the Kafka codebase (as some are fixed, new ones appear).
> This is supported by the open-source GitHub Pull Request Builder Plugin via comments in the pull request itself (e.g. "retest this please" to rebuild, "add to whitelist" to automatically build future pull requests from the submitter, etc.):
> https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin
> Spark is using this with the AMPLab Jenkins instance:
> https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/7613
> https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/SparkPullRequestBuilder/38199/consoleFull
> The Apache Jenkins instance is using the Jenkins Enterprise GH PR plugin, which doesn't support this functionality (probably based on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin) because the more featured one required privileges on the GitHub side that the Apache Infra team was not able to give at the time (as explained by [~abayer]).
> [~abayer] suggested that he would check if things have changed. The fact that Spark made it work is a good indicator. We also have the option of moving to a separate Jenkins instance (Confluent has offered theirs), but we would prefer to improve the Apache one as that benefits the other projects too.
