Description

Occasionally we met with the error 

COMPRESSING build artifacts.
build_info
container.log
mvn-1.log
mvn-2.log
mvn.out
Uploading to transfer.sh
Could not save metadata

when the travis uploading logs to transfer.sh. This makes many fail tests cannot be analyzed due to lack of detail logs. To amend this situation, we should allow uploading to retry when the uploading fails.
