Distributed-regression job[1] is now a part of Gluster's
nightly-master build pipeline. The following are the issues we have
resolved since we started working on this:
1) Collecting gluster logs from servers.
2) Tests failed due to infra-related issues have been fixed.
3) Time taken to run regression testing reduced to ~50-60 minutes.
To get time down to 40 minutes needs your help!
Currently, there is a test that is failing:
tests/bugs/glusterd/optimized-basic-testcases-in-cluster.t
This needs fixing first.
There's a test that takes 14 minutes to complete -
`tests/bugs/index/bug-1559004-EMLINK-handling.t`. A single test taking
14 minutes is not something we can distribute. Can we look at how we
can speed this up[2]? When this test fails, it is re-attempted,
further increasing the time. This happens in the regular
centos7-regression job as well.I made a change [1] to reduce the amount of time this tests needs. With this change the test completes in about 90 seconds. It would need some reviews from maintainers though.Do you want I send a patch with this change alone ?Xavi[1] https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/19254/22/tests/bugs/index/bug-1559004-EMLINK-handling.tYes please! It would be useful! We can merge it sooner that way!

I know the geo-rep ones are easy to fix. The playbook for setting up geo-rep correctly just didn't make it over to the playbook used for these images.

There are a couple of intermittent memory issues with the test script that we need to debug and fix before I'm comfortable in making this job a voting job. We've worked around these problems right now. It still pops up now and again. The fact that things break often is not an excuse to prevent avoidable failures. The one month timeline was taken with all these factors into consideration. The 2-week timeline is a no-go at this point.
