Builds don't include the build_hash or build_timestamp

[spalger]

Builds of master don't include the build_hash or build_timestamp that usually are available. Is it possible to get this info back?

Output of http://localhost:9200/

Didn't see this before but I saw similar behavior and opened and integrated #14564. Note that we are only outputting the short hash now, and the timestamp format is slightly different than before. Does that work for you @spalger?

@jasontedor is it possible to use a standard date format for the build_date? What was wrong with ISO 8601?

@spalger It's possible. That build timestamp is put into the jar manifest by a Gradle plugin. So to keep it simple, we just grab the timestamp directly out of the manifest (as a string). If you have a need for ISO 8601, we can certainly do that.

What was wrong with ISO 8601?

Nothing. Frankly, I was surprised that the Gradle plugin that we are using wasn't putting it into that format.

Cool, it would be much appreciated :)

@spalger I opened #14751 on our side to change the formatting. Note that the plugin we are using to get this information into the manifest in the first place does not include timezone information so without some extra complexity the best that we have right now is a local date time. I also opened nebula-plugins/gradle-info-plugin#22 to see if we can get that included in the basic info.

Awesome, thanks @jasontedor
