Description

I am trying to build Tez on ARM64 CPU architecture.

At the moment there are two issues:

 

1) There is no aarch64 build of Protobuf 2.5. This is going to be solved with TEZ-4152 and  TEZ-4154

2) tez-ui module does not build because of missing binary for phantomjs. PhantomJS is not maintained since several years and there is no chance that new versions will be released

I see two solutions for 2) :

2.1) update the UI module to use something modern instead of PhantomJS (e.g. jsdom, Puppeteer, etc.)

2.2) disable frontend build and tests for aarch64 architecture (Pull Request)
