-----------------------------------

             Summary: Improve build server robustness by not reusing JVMs in integration tests
                 Key: FLINK-1561
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1561
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build System
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 0.9


Right now, JVM forks are reused across unit and integration tests. While it makes a lot of sense for the very quick unit tests, the integration tests benefit less.

We also see spurious JVM failures in the integration tests that are most likely related to JVM issues. An example is the trace below:
{code}
java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory
        at sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.write0(Native Method)
        at sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.write(FileDispatcherImpl.java:60)
        at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.writeFromNativeBuffer(IOUtil.java:93)
        at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.java:65)
        at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.write(FileChannelImpl.java:205)
        at org.apache.flink.runtime.io.disk.iomanager.SegmentWriteRequest.write(AsynchronousFileIOChannel.java:270)
        at org.apache.flink.runtime.io.disk.iomanager.IOManagerAsync$WriterThread.run(IOManagerAsync.java:440)
{code}

I think we can improve reliability of Travis tests by not reusing forks for integration tests.
