[Hudson] What executors are available for general use?
Sometimes it seems to take ages to get a job run on Hudson, right now
there are 35 jobs queue up waiting to run but the available executors
is showing a lot of idle ones. Why can't those idle ones be used, are
those idle ones usable or not or only for special things?
The current idle ones are:
Build Executor Status
freebsd1
1 Idle
2 Idle
hadoop1
1 Idle
hadoop2
1 Idle
hadoop3
1 Idle
hadoop4
1 Idle
hadoop5
1 Idle
hadoop6
1 Idle
hadoop7
1 Idle
hadoop8
1 Idle
hadoop9
1 Idle
osx1
1 Idle
2 Idle
solaris2
1 Idle
2 Idle
windows1
1 Idle
2 Idle

They were added before I was active on Hudson, so I don't know the
full history. But yes, as long the project can provide a server on
which we can run a Hudson slave, I don't see any problem with adding
it to Hudson. Other Hudson admins might disagree.
Of course, I would much rather see slaves being added for general
purpose since, as you noticed, the dedicated slaves mostly sits idle.

Ok thanks for the info.
Out of interest, how does a project go about getting its own private
slave like Hadoop and Lucene have? Presumably it requires funding or
someone donating some machine or resources? If i could find someone
willing to do that for Tuscany could we get our own Hudson slave?

The Hadoop and Lucene slaves are for those projects only. solaris2
should be for all jobs, I've changed the configuration for that. As
for freebsd1, osx1 and windows1 they are a bit special and I'm not
sure if all builds would work unmodified on them. That's why we
currently only run tied jobs on those slaves. That said, jobs which
believe they will run on any of these slaves can tie their jobs to
multiple platforms, e.g. ubuntu||solaris||freebsd .
