What is correct configurations to build Helix master with unit tests.

[Shameera Rathnayaka <sh...@apache.org>]

Hi Devs,

I am new to Apache Helix and pretty interesting to the project. I tried to
building Helix master with "man clean install" as mention in here[1], what
I want is to build the project with unit tests. But build fails with
following error, I doubt that set of integration tests also run with this
command.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:714)

I ran "ulimit -u" and output is 709. What is the correct value I need to
set to resolve above issue. Are there any other configuration parameter i
need to care about to avoid build issues like this?

As a distributed system enthusiastic I would like to contribute for the
project. I have fair background of distributed systems with what we (Group
of 4 students, including myself) did for our undergraduate project,A
Distributed System Management Framework with User-Define Management Logic.
Here is the paper we published on ITNG conference (
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2497038). and I am contributing to Apache
Airavata which is also distributed system framework for Science Gateways.

The ulimit seems to very small. Can you set it to something like 50000 or
unlimited if possible.

thanks,
