------------------------------------------

             Summary: Hadoop build depends on archives.apache.org
                 Key: HADOOP-18786
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18786
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 3.3.6
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs


Several times throughout Hadoop's source, the ASF archive is referenced, including part of the build that downloads Yetus.

Building a release from source should not require access to the ASF archives, as that contributes to end users being subject to throttling and blocking by INFRA, for "abuse" of the archives, even though they are merely building a current ASF release from source. This is particularly problematic for downstream packagers who must build from Hadoop's source, or for CI/CD situations that depend on Hadoop's source, and particularly problematic for those end users behind a NAT gateway, because even if Hadoop's use of the archive is modest, it adds up for multiple users.

The build should be modified, so that it does not require access to fixed versions in the archives (or should work with the upstream of those dependent projects to publish their releases elsewhere, for routine consumptions). In the interim, the source could be updated to point to the current dependency versions available on downloads.apache.org.
