Description

Flink's nightly snapshot builds tend to fail sometimes (unstable repository server) and we want to be able to rollback the deployment then. We use Jenkins to deploy nightly snapshots: https://builds.apache.org/job/flink-snapshot-deployment/

Anyone familiar with how we would perform atomic Maven snapshot deployments via Nexus staging repositories? It should work similarly to the staged process of deploying release artifacts. However, we don't want to use the Web UI and rather automate it for nightly deployment of snapshots.

Does that work out of the box via the Nexus-staging-maven-plugin? Like explained here: https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/staging-deployment.html#fig-staging-example-pom

I'm assuming we need some configuration for the Nexus repository from Infra.
