3.6.0
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/2061#issuecomment-615434184
I'm not sure that this is a good way to align the Maven version to the
version supported by the system package manager.
For example, for people who use Ubuntu 16.04LTS, only [Maven
3.3.9](https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/maven) was available, but people who
already use Ubuntu 20.04 can install [Maven
3.6.3](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/maven). I don't remember time when I
hadn't to install it manually from the binary archive on CentOS 6.X and some
7.X versions. For macOS, brew already provides Maven 3.6.3.
But having a newer Maven version allows using newer plugin versions with
their new features.
As a side point, Apache Spark also uses Maven 3.6.3:
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/pom.xml#L118.
For your case, I would recommend either adding new release mirror `deb
http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe` to
`/etc/apt/sources.list` and installing newer version using the apt package
manager or downloading the package from
[there](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/all/maven/download) and installing it
using `dpgk -i`.
I have tried the first option on Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked fine for me.

> Key: DRILL-7708
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7708
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.18.0
> Reporter: Paul Rogers
> Assignee: Paul Rogers
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.18.0
>
>
> DRILL-7704 upgraded Drill's Maven version to 3.6.3.
> As it turns out, I use Ubuntu (Linux Mint) for development. Maven is
> installed as a package using apt-get. Packages can lag behind a bit. The
> latest maven available via apt-get is 3.6.0.
> It is a nuisance to install a new version outside the package manager. I
> changed the Maven version in the root pom.xml to 3.6.0 and the build seemed
> to work. Any reason we need the absolute latest version rather than just
> 3.6.0 or later?
> The workaround for now is to manually edit the pom.xml file on each checkout,
> then revert the change before commit. This ticket requests to adjust the
> "official" version to 3.6.0.
