------------------------------------
Summary: Utilize Gradle build cache on GitHub CI
Key: KAFKA-17479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17479
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Reporter: David Arthur
Assignee: David Arthur
In order to speed up our PR builds, we can make use of the Gradle build cache
in conjunction with the GitHub action cache service. The goal of this ticket is
to reduce the amount of redundant testing executed on PRs builds. This will
speed up the feedback time for developers and reduce the resource consumption
of Kafka CI from ASF's infrastructure.
Some immediate benefits of the setup-gradle action include caching of:
* The Gradle distribution and wrapper
* The various JDKs we use
* The project dependencies
* Other Gradle runtime dependencies
By explicitly enabling the Gradle build cache (with --build-cache), we can also
have the outputs of our tasks cached between CI runs.
