Fixes: Rate-limitting when trying to download Pulsar binaries in a GitHub action (or similar)
Master Issue: #
Motivation
Right now, package.json uses the Apache archive:
The archive is mainly meant for historical releases. Downloads from it often get throttled (in GitHub Actions).
When that happens, the workflow fails and can keep failing many times.
Apache runs a CDN for this kind of traffic, which would fix the problem:
https://dlcdn.apache.org/pulsar/pulsar-client-node/
(The CDN doesn't have every version. For versions it's missing users can supply a mirror (as already supported by
node-pre-gyp) where that old version is hosted.)Modifications
https://dlcdn.apache.org/pulsar/pulsar-client-node/ is the default host.
