Jenkins problems

[cseed]

Three things:

1. Jenkins build can't write annotations #116:

http://hail-ci.broadinstitute.org:8080/job/Hail%20-%20Test%20All%20Branches/116/

of master, revision 6d5fe39, failed several test cases, but I wasn't able to reproduce it on my laptop. Can we get more detailed logs, either by default or in another file, so we can debug build irreproducible build failures? Custom log4j properties for gradle might be a solution.

1. I tried to rebuild can't write annotations #116 by clicking "Rebuild" on the left hand side menu. This resulted in build Tp exportmore #119

http://hail-ci.broadinstitute.org:8080/job/Hail%20-%20Test%20All%20Branches/119/

which is labeled "rebuild of #116", but it is a build of a different branch, origin/tp_dbnsfp_bug and a different revision. What's going on?

1. When I noticed can't write annotations #116 failed, I wanted to find the last build of origin/master that succeeded. Is there a way to do that?

I created a new multi-branch configuration that should be better for what we are trying to accomplish. This should fix issues 2 and 3.

For the reproducibility of errors, that will probably take both setting the random seed parameter in Hail for all random tests and getting Jenkins to give better error messages.

heh, careful with '#' on github

See the random seed specification in #357 . Gradle will say the random seed at the top of the log if tests are run with gradle. Spec.check will also print it out (for use in IntelliJ).

You can either specify using Spec.check(seed = Option(5)) or with the Java properties:
-Dhail.seed=5
-Dhail.randomize=true

All of these have been resolved.
