Description
### 1. Describe the feature
Migrate Kyuubi build system to Gradle
### 2. Motivation
Maven is a stable, but quite traditional build system, and Gradle is a more advanced build system.
Except the build time, we already encountered some functional limitations of `maven`, for instances #488 and #606
### 3. Describe the solution
1. Keep using Maven (Spark use it, and it should be the most popular build system in Java world)
2. Migrate to SBT (I'm not a big fan of sbt, even it's the scala official build system)
3. Migrate to Gradle (It's overly flexible, need to explore the best practice for kyuubi)
### 4. Additional context
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2905
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the current Maven build and the limitations referenced in issues #488 and #606, then read the linked CALCITE-2905 issue. The issue lists Maven, SBT, and Gradle as alternatives but does not define a selected approach, scope, or acceptance criteria; done would require an agreed migration plan and implementation scope.
