References: <2B4EB033-08FE-4613-8FBB-CE1FC64F100E@altiscale.com> In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit +1 (Have been talking to Sean in private on the subject -- seems appropriate to voice some public support) I'd be interested in this for Accumulo and Slider. For Accumulo, we've come a far way without a pre-commit build, primarily due to a CTR process. We have seen the repeated questions of "how do I run the tests" which a more automated workflow would help with, IMO. I think Slider could benefit with the same reasons. I'd also be giddy to see the recent improvements in Hadoop trickle down into the other projects that Allen already mentioned. Take this as record that I'd be happy to try to help out where possible.
