You will need to create an additional ~/.m2/settings-security.xml to store your master password (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html).

Spark for Release

First, check if there are outstanding blockers for your target version on JIRA. If there are none, make sure the unit tests pass. Note that the Maven tests are highly dependent on the run environment. It’s a good idea to verify that they have been passing in Jenkins before spending hours trying to fix them yourself.

$ git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/spark.git -b branch-1.1
$ cd spark
$ sbt/sbt clean assembly test

# Ensure MAVEN_OPTS is set with at least 3G of JVM memory
$ mvn -DskipTests clean package
$ mvn test

Additionally, check for dead links in the documentation.

$ cd spark/docs
$ jekyll serve --watch
$ sudo apt-get install linkchecker
$ linkchecker -r 2 http://localhost:4000 --no-status --no-warnings
