NOTE: Instructions for meeting hosts are at the end of this page.
The meeting is an open floor, open for discussion of any topic entered below.
- STM and backports [Shyam]
- I see that a lot of patches are being backported to the STM release (i.e 3.9). I assumed that we backport only those that users ask for as they try out the STM to give us feedback. Would like to discuss this in the meeting today.
- [shyam] STM is not for production, so shouldn't be getting backports until a user asks
- [everyone else] STM is a stable release. So it should get backports. (Though its only for 3 months)
- A common location for testing-tools [Shweta]
- QE tests being ported upstream with Glusto use some custom tools
- They need to be provided from a well known location owned by the community
- Currently, one tool (arequal) is being hosted in copr at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nigelbabu/arequal/
- Most of the tools have upstream packages, with the exceptions being arequal and smallfiles
- arequal is gluster specific, so needn't be provided by distributions
- Could be pulled into and pacakged with gluster itself
- Already present under
tests/utils - Bug opened to include arequal https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410100
- smallfiles is useful enough to be packaged in distributions
- Developer workflow problems [nigelb]
- The Facebook contribution has highlighted that our current workflow is non-ideal. This is also obvious at every release.
- The tests need to run faster or needs to be less intermittent.
- I'm happy to help in terms on infra, but I'd love pointers from people who've sped this up in the past (rtalur's setup?).
- Regression tests take 4+ hours to run, fail intermittently, frustrate devs, bad for newcomers
- Need to cut down time patches spend waiting on regression runs
- Can speed up by running tests in parallel on multiple machines
- Still, intermittent failures frustrate
- Do away with per patch/review regression tests altogether. Run regression tests periodically on each branch
- Intermittent failures need to be fixed for this to work
- Get rid of noisy tests, which are about half the tests, and run the remaining in parallel per patch
- Run the noisy tests periodically
- For now, try to get parallel runs working. Will help figure out and fix intermittent failure faster, and get data for noisy tests.
- To speed up fixes to intermittent failures, bugs will be filed based on fstat.gluster.org stats, every 2 weeks.
