During October 2024, Erose focused on improving the reliability of the apache/ozone project’s continuous integration pipeline by addressing test flakiness in the codebase. Working primarily with Java, Erose upgraded the Ratis dependency to version 3.1.1 and removed the @Flaky annotation from the TestOzoneManagerHAWithStoppedNodes test, reflecting its new deterministic behavior. This change required careful integration testing and updates to test automation scripts, ensuring that CI feedback became more consistent and actionable. By aligning test expectations with the updated dependency, Erose enabled faster iteration cycles and more predictable release readiness, demonstrating depth in integration testing and test automation practices.
