Description

Currently bootstrap_system.sh will prepopulate the .m2 directory by download a 800M+ archive file from jenkins.impala.io, this intended to speed up the maven package process, so it's not required. meanwhile, due to different network environment, the download speed of the archive file is not necessarily fast.

I want to add an environment variable 'PREPOPULATE_M2_REPOSITORY' to control whether to prepopulate the m2 directory or not.
