I have successfully compiled AsterixDB from source. I too encountered a lot of errors like these. In my experience the problem was not with the code base but with the network. AsterixDB has a lot of dependencies. When compiling for the first time chances are you'll not have all of them in your local maven repo. The initial build is filled with dependency downloads, but not all of them get downloaded.
To confirm this behaviour try restarting the compile process again. If everytime you encounter maven downloading some or the other dependencies then the problem is with your university/organization network. You'll need to run the build multiple times just for it to download all dependencies. Deleting caches won't help.
