failure while building hdfsdu sources

[vineshcpaul]

The following failure is seen on master when the hdfsdu cookbook tries to build sources from
https://github.com/twitter/hdfs-du.

^[[0m [FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM for com.twitter.hdfsdu:hdfsdu:0.1.0: Could not transfer artifact org.sonatype.oss:oss-parent:pom:7 from/to twitter (http://maven.twttr.com): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ com.twitter.hdfsdu:hdfsdu:0.1.0, /var/chef/cache/hdfsdu/pom.xml, line 6, column 11^M

This looks like is an issue when it is trying to resolve dependencies from a repository that is hosted at https://maven.twttr.com/com/twitter/common/..

It might be that the site is unreliable and does not download the dependent artifacts .
Moreover, this site seems to be outdated and not maintained as per this link and some of the artifacts are being moved to central repository.

The following issue is opened on the hdfsdu github for this error.
twitter-archive/hdfs-du#14

Hi @vineshcpaul I think we are good to close this now, right? Please re-open this if it is still broken for you.
