Hi,

looking at the last builds on Travis, you'll notice that our builds are in
a pretty bad state: https://travis-ci.org/apache/flink/builds.
It seems that the last 15 builds on master all failed.

These are the errors I saw + their status:
- Deadlock during cache up/download: I asked travis and they suggested a
workaround that I'm currently testing (MALLOC_ARENA=2, in master)
- issues opening zip files: The problem there is that some jars in the
cache seem to be corrupt. I asked ASF Infra to delete all caches, they did
it already, so the problem should be resolved.
- Maven failing on the java6 builds. The issue is that Travis updated their
build environment (April update [1]), which included a version upgrade of
Maven from 3.2.5 to 3.3.1. As per Maven 3.3.1, they are not supporting Java
6 anymore [2].
It seems that travis is rolling back the April environment updates [3] so
the issue will probably disappear for a few days until they fixed their
environment update.
We can resolve the issue by two ways a) drop Java6 support, b) manually
install maven on travis (its a matter of 1-2hrs).
- The third build on travis (hadoop200-alpha) is failing due to some Flink
tests: https://travis-ci.org/apache/flink/jobs/60335907
It would be good if somebody who worked on this recently could take a
closer look.


Please let me know how you want to fix the Java6/Maven issue!
a) Drop Java 6 support for Flink
b) Use an older Maven version for now.

I'm in favor of option b) because the community recently decided to keep
Java6 support. (Fun fact: Java 7 reached its end of support lifecycle [4]
in April 2015)
