[Hawkular-dev] Get rid of Travis?

[Michael Burman]

Hi,

I'm proposing we get rid of the Travis for now (at least for metrics) 
and stick to something else, such as the old Jenkins. At the moment, it 
can take several runs for metrics PRs to finish, since Cassandra stops 
responding in the Travis runs every time. Yesterday I started my PR 4 
times, last week one PR for 10 times.

22:28:24,629 ERROR [com.datastax.driver.core.ControlConnection] 
(cluster1-reconnection-1) [Control connection] Cannot connect to any 
host, scheduling retry in 600000 milliseconds

Sometimes it doesn't even get this far and fails with running the 
installation script of Cassandra. These errors have made the Travis runs 
completely irrelevant, whenever they fail it just makes sense to restart 
them without reading logs (we should get automatic script to restart 
always when it fails) until they succeed. No errors reported by Travis 
are trustworthy.

We need a working CI solution and this isn't it. There's no "community 
visibility" if the results have no meaning, using Jenkins at least 
provides us with "failed / not failed", Travis doesn't provide even this.
