[ZEPPELIN-1376] Add proxy credentials for dependency repo for corporate firewall use-cases ### What is this PR for? When using Zeppelin behind corporate firewall, sometimes the dependencies download just fails silently. This PR has 2 objectives: * add proxy credentials information for dependencies repo * raise clear error message in case of dependencies download failure There are 3 commits. The first one add extra inputs in the form for adding new repository  The second commit fixes some issues and display a clear and explicit error message when download of dependencies fail. Before that, when the download fails, we can see the below behaviour  * the error message is displayed twice because the call twice the method `checkDownloadingDependencies();`. One in the success callback of: ```javascript $scope.updateInterpreterSetting = function(form, settingId) { ... $http.put(baseUrlSrv.getRestApiBase() + '/interpreter/setting/' + settingId, request) .success(function(data, status, headers, config) { $scope.interpreterSettings[index] = data.body; removeTMPSettings(index); thisConfirm.close(); checkDownloadingDependencies(); $route.reload(); }) .error(function(data, status, headers, config) { ... }; ``` Another call is inside success callback of `getInterpreterSettings()` ```javascript var getInterpreterSettings = function() { $http.get(baseUrlSrv.getRestApiBase() + '/interpreter/setting') .success(function(data, status, headers, config) { $scope.interpreterSettings = data.body; checkDownloadingDependencies(); }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) { .... ``` The problem is that `$route.reload();` in the success callback of `updateInterpreterSetting()` will trigger `init()` then `getInterpreterSettings()` so `checkDownloadingDependencies()` is called twice. I remove the call to `checkDownloadingDependencies()` from success callback of `updateInterpreterSetting()` The second modification is on class `DependencyResolver`. In the screen capture above, we get a **cryptic** NullPointerException coming from `DefaultRepositorySystem`. I now catch this NPE to wrap it into a more sensible and clearer exception: ```java public List<ArtifactResult> getArtifactsWithDep(String dependency, Collection<String> excludes) throws RepositoryException { Artifact artifact = new DefaultArtifact(dependency); DependencyFilter classpathFilter = DependencyFilterUtils.classpathFilter(JavaScopes.COMPILE); PatternExclusionsDependencyFilter exclusionFilter = new PatternExclusionsDependencyFilter(excludes); CollectRequest collectRequest = new CollectRequest(); collectRequest.setRoot(new Dependency(artifact, JavaScopes.COMPILE)); synchronized (repos) { for (RemoteRepository repo : repos) { collectRequest.addRepository(repo); } } DependencyRequest dependencyRequest = new DependencyRequest(collectRequest, DependencyFilterUtils.andFilter(exclusionFilter, classpathFilter)); //Catch NPE thrown by aether and give a proper error message try { return system.resolveDependencies(session, dependencyRequest).getArtifactResults(); } catch (NullPointerException ex) { throw new RepositoryException(String.format("Cannot fetch dependencies for %s", dependency)); } } ``` The result is much more cleaner  The last commit is just doc update  ### What type of PR is it? [Improvement] ### Todos * [ ] - Code Review * [ ] - Simple test with no Internet connection * [ ] - Test within a corporate firewall env with a third-party dependency, requiring download ### What is the Jira issue? **[ZEPPELIN-1376]** ### How should this be tested? ##### Simple test * `git fetch origin pull/1369/head:WebProxy` * `git checkout WebProxy` * `mvn clean package -DskipTests` * `bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh restart` * disconnect from the Internet (pull out the cable, shutdown wifi ...) * add a random dependency to the Spark interpreter (take `info.archinnov:achilles-core:4.2.2` for example) * validate the change, you should see an error popup on the top-right corner saying that Zeppelin cannot download the dependency ##### Corporate firewall test * follow the steps above for simple test * create a new repository (see how to **[here]**) and set the proxy information * retry the steps above to ensure that the download is successful ### Screenshots (if appropriate) See above ### Questions: * Does the licenses files need update? --> **NO** * Is there breaking changes for older versions? --> **NO** * Does this needs documentation? --> **YES, DONE** [ZEPPELIN-1376]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1376 [here]: http://localhost:4000/manual/dependencymanagement.html You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/doanduyhai/incubator-zeppelin ZEPPELIN-1376 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/1369.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #1369 ---- ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
