Hi,

when I try to create a site of a project https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch with large javadocs, it fails badly.

The first tries produced 403 errors after long runs (15 minutes estimated):

Failed to execute goal com.github.github:site-maven-plugin:0.6:site (default) on project elasticsearch: Error creating blob: forbidden (403)

Okay, that confused me a bit, but I assume it failed because of too many blobs. So I reduced from >10,000 javadoc files down to ~7,000 by dropping test-javadocs.

My last try resulted in an API rate limit exceeded.

[INFO] --- site-maven-plugin:0.6:site (default) @ elasticsearch ---
[INFO] Creating 6,848 blobs

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.github:site-maven-plugin:0.6:site (default) on project elasticsearch: Error creating blob: API Rate Limit Exceeded for jprante (403) -> [Help 1]

DryRun works without problems.

How can I succeed (without breaking down the project into smaller pieces)?

Or, related question, what is the maximum number of blobs that can be created with github site maven plugin at once? Is it possible to batch / compress blobs?

Thank you for your time and help,

Jörg
