-----------------------------------
Summary: Automate release builds
Key: HADOOP-8914
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8914
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Eli Collins
Hadoop releases are currently created manually by the RM (following
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease), which means various aspects of the
build are ad hoc, eg what tool chain was used to compile the java and native
code varies from release to release. Other steps can be inconsistent since
they're done manually eg recently the checksums for an RC were incorrect. Let's
use the jenkins toolchain and create a job that automates creating release
builds so that the only manual thing about releasing is publishing to mvn
central.
