Description

I am following the instructions in order to build the parquet libraries, and there are some firewall restrictions in our dvpmt environment.

I have followed the instructions mentioned in https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/developers/cpp/building.rst

regarding Offline Builds: 

./thirdparty/download_dependencies.sh $HOME/arrow-thirdparty >env.sh
. ./env.sh
cd cpp
mkdir debug
cd debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DARROW_PARQUET=ON -DARROW_DATASET=ON ..
make parquet arrow_dataset

The result is that the process simply ignores the environment variables and tries to download the packages from the cloud - facing the firewall restrictions, and then it fails after a number of attempts at trying to download the packages.
