Worked on the apache/hadoop repository to modernize and extend its build environments, focusing on compatibility with recent Linux distributions and JDK versions. Delivered support for Ubuntu 24.04 and defaulted builds to JDK 17 by updating Dockerfiles and build scripts, introducing dynamic Dockerfile selection to streamline platform-specific builds. Later, expanded this approach to Debian 12 and Debian 13, implementing per-version Dockerfiles and enhancing the build system to recognize new platforms, which improved CI coverage and release readiness. Utilized Docker, Shell scripting, and Linux environment management to ensure reproducible, flexible builds aligned with evolving Java requirements and cross-team engineering needs.
Month: 2025-10. Key deliverables and impact for apache/hadoop: 1) Key features delivered: Extended Hadoop build environments to Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Debian 13 (Trixie) with per-version Dockerfiles and updated build system to recognize new platforms, enabling more flexible and up-to-date builds. 2) Major bugs fixed: No major bugs fixed reported this month. 3) Overall impact and accomplishments: Enables up-to-date, reproducible builds across newer Debian releases, strengthens CI coverage, and improves release readiness, while aligning with Java/JDK 17 requirements. 4) Technologies/skills demonstrated: Debian-based build tooling, Docker multi-version support, per-version Dockerfiles, build-system enhancements, Java 17 (JDK-17) alignment, and cross-team collaboration on release engineering.

May 2025: Delivered Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) build platform support for Apache Hadoop with JDK 17 as the default. Implemented dynamic Dockerfile selection in build scripts to automatically choose the correct Dockerfile per OS platform, increasing build flexibility and compatibility with newer Ubuntu releases and JDK versions. Updated build environment scripts and Dockerfiles to align with modern Ubuntu/JDK stacks, reducing build failures and simplifying maintenance.
