This commit includes a number of changes to reduce overall build
configuration time. These optimizations include:
- Removing the usage of the 'nebula.info-scm' plugin. This plugin
leverages jgit to load read various pieces of VCS information. This
is mostly overkill and we have our own minimal implementation for
determining the current commit id.
- Removing unnecessary build dependencies such as perforce and jgit
now that we don't need them. This reduces our classpath considerably.
- Expanding the usage lazy task creation, particularly in our
distribution projects. The archives and packages projects create
lots of tasks with very complex configuration. Avoiding the creation
of these tasks at configuration time gives us a nice boost.
This commit removes the configuration time vs execution time distinction
with regards to certain BuildParms properties. Because of the cost of
determining Java versions for configuration JDK locations we deferred
this until execution time. This had two main downsides. First, we had
to implement all this build logic in tasks, which required a bunch of
additional plumbing and complexity. Second, because some information
wasn't known during configuration time, we had to nest any build logic
that depended on this in awkward callbacks.
We now defer to the JavaInstallationRegistry recently added in Gradle.
This utility uses a much more efficient method for probing Java
installations vs our jrunscript implementation. This, combined with some
optimizations to avoid probing the current JVM as well as deferring
some evaluation via Providers when probing installations for BWC builds
we can maintain effectively the same configuration time performance
while removing a bunch of complexity and runtime cost (snapshotting
inputs for the GenerateGlobalBuildInfoTask was very expensive). The end
result should be a much more responsive build execution in almost all
scenarios.
(cherry picked from commit ecdbd37f2e0f0447ed574b306adb64c19adc3ce1)
This commit makes a number of improvements when importing the
Elasticsearch project into IntelliJ IDEA. Specifically:
- Contributing documentation has been updated to reflect that the
'idea' task should no long be used and Gradle project import is
instead the officially supported way of setting up the project.
- Attempts to run the 'idea' task will result in a failure with a
message directing folks to our CONTRIBUTING.md document.
- The project JDK is explicit set rather that using whatever JAVA_HOME
is.
- Gradle build operation delegation is disabled, and test execution is
configured to 'choose per test'.
- Gradle is configured to inherit the project JDK.
- Some code style conventions are automatically configured.
- File encoding is explicitly set to UTF-8.
- Parallel module compilation is enabled and deprecated feature
warnings are disabled.
- A remote debug run configuration using listen mode is created.
- JUnit runner is configured with required system properties.
- License headers are configured such that Apache 2 is the default
notice added to all source files with exception of source in /x-pack
which will use the Elastic license.
