Hi Konstantin,

I am seeing two type of failures:

1) Maven download errors that don't show (afaics) any hint about what
failed. Example:
https://ci.bigtop.apache.org/view/Packages/job/Bigtop-trunk-packages/COMPONENTS=kafka,OS=centos-7-ppc64le/lastBuild/console

2) Connect timeouts while downloading poms, example:
https://ci.bigtop.apache.org/view/Packages/job/Bigtop-trunk-packages/COMPONENTS=hive,OS=debian-10-ppc64le/lastBuild/console

Usually 2) seems to be related to apache.org-related repo servers.

I am not very expert with Maven but I was wondering how Bigtop
releases were cut with such a degree of unpredictability in builds (if
some secret option was used etc..). I naively thought that adding a
basic retry to Maven would have improved the end result, but over time
a lot of people (like Olaf mentioned) tried to resolve this problem so
I preferred to ask first, before making silly suggestions :)

Thanks,

Luca
