set up regular test of branch-2

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

Hi,

Currently there are no jenkins test jobs set up for branch-2, it seems
reasonable to do so because of the difference between trunk and branch-2. I
guess this might have been discussed before, but I would like to bring to
your attention.

I wonder if there is any concern not to have the branch-2 test (other than
that it would consume more resources) .

Thanks.

We do lack

  1.  precommit checks on branch-2
  2.  more combinations of branch-2 & JDK versions
  3.  no builds/tests against java 9 previews
  4.  people reacting to broken builds

issues 1-3 can be addressed by someone putting in the hours to set things up, though first they'll need to sort out the build process so that parallel builds/tests don't screw up each other's .m2 repositories & -SNAPSHOT jars. Having spent ~a week getting the migrate to Java 7 & java 8 builds working-ish, I can warn that it takes a long time to get these working (time for test runs & need for isolation adds complexity, running builds @ weekends and outside US working hours helped).

If you want to volunteer to  do all the work, then access to the ASF JIRA servers is something that could perhaps be arranged.

Issue 4, though, that's the hard one. There are too many "build failed" messages from jenkins to get people to react to more build profiles. We need effort on that first (isolation, test stability) before anything else

If you are talking about build’s on hadoop 2 branch, here is the link to 
the latest build with tests.
