--------------------------------------------
Summary: Use a Maven plugin to build the native code using CMake
Key: HADOOP-8887
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8887
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
Priority: Minor
Currently, we build the native code using ant-build invocations. Although this works, it
has some limitations:
* compiler warning messages are hidden, which can cause people to check in code with warnings
unintentionally
* there is no framework for running native unit tests; instead, we use ad-hoc constructs involving
shell scripts
* the antrun code is very platform specific
* there is no way to run a specific native unit test
* it's more or less impossible for scripts like test-patch.sh to separate a native test failing
from the build itself failing (no files are created) or to enumerate which native tests failed.
Using a native Maven plugin would overcome these limitations.
