[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-829) Enhance the build.sh script to support building a subset of the available language bindings

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-829?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13039695#comment-13039695 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-829:
-----------------------------------

This looks good.  A few comments and questions about the patch:
- is it possible to have a single list of all languages, so that adding a new language is less error-prone?
- it might be nice if the 'e' function accepted a list rather than a string as the command, so that one could more easily pass commands that incorporate quotes in their parameters.
- test_rpc_interop.sh might still run, restricted the lang provided.  The 'clients' and 'servers' list there should be simply set to include only the language specified.

> Avro supports a number of language bindings, currently: {{c}}, {{c++}}, {{c#}}, {{java}}, {{ruby}}, {{php}}, {{python}}.
> The top level build script ({{build.sh}}) attempts to build all language bindings by default.  Thus, building Avro from source requires compilers and interpreters for *all* these languages to be present on a developer's system.
> The attached patch adds support for a {{-l}} _LANG_ option to {{build.sh}}, allowing the build to be restricted to the specified language(s).  This feature allows someone interested in just a few bindings to build only the relevant parts of the Avro source tree.
