I don't think we can safely or should assume devs use private repo
managers, or that those that do improve performance.

Why not? This is actually what we are recommending in tickets, SO and our website.

Instead of locking, would it be possible to implement some sort of
queue system for artifact downloads or use asynchronous futures?

Everything is possible as long as someone implements it. The queue would lock until the artifact has been consumed. What difference would that make? The artifact download is already async in terms of that parallel threads with tasks are spawned.

I do not intend to put anymore to time to something more sophisticated like a queue for now, I did already invest a lot. This issue has plagued many users.

I am open to new issues until someone can implement them in time.

Folks,

MRESOLVER-123 [1] solves a very long standing issue in Resolver: Thread
concurrency in a single JVM while downloading artifacts/metadata. It has
been verified to work with several usecases provided by reporters. This
approach has one drawback: Since it is a global lock it introduces
somwhat of a lock contention. The slower your connection link the longer
the lock is held. Ideally, folks use repo managers in private networks
to solve this issue. Also, read/write reeentrancy seems to work fine
based on the logs provided. At the end I prefer build stability over
performance.

Please have a look and raise objects if you have any. If you don't hear
any I will merge next week and start release process of Resolver 1.5.0.

A midterm goal would be to provide a group id based locking which should
drastically reduce contention, but no promises here for an ETA. As for
the multi JVM safety, Takari local repository failed to provide a
working solution, project seems to be abandoned. I have considered to
investigate a Redisson-based approach for this. Though, this solely
depends on the community how necessary this really is.
