Re: Randomly failing tests

["Matthias J. Sax" <ma...@confluent.io>]

Hi,

this can happen and we try hard to keep the build stable... If you see
any failing tests, please double check if there is a corresponding Jira
for those flaky tests and comment on the Jira (to raise awareness),
reopen (if it's an older and resolved one) or create a new Jira.

Thanks!
