I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error:
Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kafka\_2.10:jar:1.2.1

I've confirmed its not an issue with any corporate firewall as every other dependency is loaded in properly, just this one. 

I have also been able to confirm in my maven settings it is attempting to pull from the following repo. I tried deleting the .m2 repo on my local machine in order to reload it, still no dice.

<http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/spark/spark-streaming-kafka_2.10/1.2.1/>

Attached below is my pom file
