[DISCUSS] TravisCI auto cancellation

[Greg Hogan]

Hi,

Just saw this TravisCI beta feature. I think this would be worthwhile to enable on pull request builds. We could leave branch builds unchanged since there are fewer builds of this type and skipping builds would make it harder to locate a broken build. It’s not uncommon to see three or more builds queued for the same PR and developers cannot cancel builds on the project account.

I’ve enabled this against my personal repo but I believe Apache Infrastructure would need to make the change for the project repo. Flink has been the biggest user of Apache’s TravisCI build pool.

+1 to Greg's suggestion.

Looking at Flink's Travis account, I've got the feeling that this feature
has already been activated. At least I see some builds (e.g. PR #3625)
where multiple commits where created in a short time and then only the
latest was actually executed. Apart from that I think it's a good idea
since it will help to decrease the waiting queue of Travis builds a bit.

Cheers,
Till

Wow, that was a quick response that this feature was already enabled.

I think auto cancellation is also enabled for branch builds. I think this
is pretty bad to find out which commit introduced a build instability.

I'll contact INFRA to check this again.

I agree, it's useful for pull requests, but in the master it easily
leads to multiple commits in a row
not being tests. Most recent builds are marked as failed because they
were canceled...
