model and set of language-specific SDKs for defining and executing data 
processing workflows, and also data ingestion and integration flows, supporting 
Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) and Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). 
Dataflow pipelines simplify the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming 
data processing and can run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache 
Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Beam also brings DSL in 
different languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration 
processes.

+<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>The Apache Beam project periodically declares and publishes releases. A 
release is one or more packages of the project artifact(s) that are approved 
for general public distribution and use. They may come with various degrees of 
caveat regarding their perceived quality and potential for change, such as 
“alpha”, “beta”, “incubating”, “stable”, etc.</p>
+
+<p>The Beam community treats releases with great importance. They are a public 
face of the project and most users interact with the project only through the 
releases. Releases are signed off by the entire Beam community in a public 
vote.</p>
+
+<p>Each release is executed by a <em>Release Manager</em>, who is selected 
among the <a href="/project/team">Beam committers</a>. This document describes 
the process that the Release Manager follows to perform a release. Any changes 
to this process should be discussed and adopted on the <a 
href="/use/mailing-lists">dev@ mailing list</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Please remember that publishing software has legal consequences. This guide 
complements the foundation-wide <a 
href="http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html";>Product Release Policy</a> and <a 
href="http://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution";>Release Distribution 
Policy</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
+
+<p><img src="/images/release-guide-1.png" alt="Alt text" title="Release 
Process" width="100%" /></p>
+
+<p>The release process consists of several steps:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>Decide to release</li>
+  <li>Prepare for the release</li>
+  <li>Build a release candidate</li>
+  <li>Vote on the release candidate</li>
+  <li>If necessary, fix any issues and go back to step 3.</li>
+  <li>Finalize the release</li>
+  <li>Promote the release</li>
+</ol>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h2 id="decide-to-release">Decide to release</h2>
+
+<p>Deciding to release and selecting a Release Manager is the first step of 
the release process. This is a consensus-based decision of the entire 
community.</p>
+
+<p>Anybody can propose a release on the dev@ mailing list, giving a solid 
argument and nominating a committer as the Release Manager (including 
themselves). There’s no formal process, no vote requirements, and no timing 
requirements. Any objections should be resolved by consensus before starting 
the release.</p>
+
+<p>In general, the community prefers to have a rotating set of 3-5 Release 
Managers. Keeping a small core set of managers allows enough people to build 
expertise in this area and improve processes over time, without Release 
Managers needing to re-learn the processes for each release. That said, if you 
are a committer interested in serving the community in this way, please reach 
out to the community on the dev@ mailing list.</p>
+
+<h3 id="checklist-to-proceed-to-the-next-step">Checklist to proceed to the 
next step</h3>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>Community agrees to release</li>
+  <li>Community selects a Release Manager</li>
+</ol>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h2 id="prepare-for-the-release">Prepare for the release</h2>
+
+<p>Before your first release, you should perform one-time configuration steps. 
This will set up your security keys for signing the release and access to 
various release repositories.</p>
+
+<p>To prepare for each release, you should audit the project status in the 
JIRA issue tracker, and do necessary bookkeeping. Finally, you should create a 
release branch from which individual release candidates will be built.</p>
+
+<h3 id="one-time-setup-instructions">One-time setup instructions</h3>
+
+<h4 id="gpg-key">GPG Key</h4>
+
+<p>You need to have a GPG key to sign the release artifacts. Please be aware 
of the ASF-wide <a 
href="https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html";>release signing 
guidelines</a>. If you don’t have a GPG key associated with your Apache 
account, please create one according to the guidelines.</p>
+
+<p>Determine your Apache GPG Key and Key ID, as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>gpg --list-keys
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This will list your GPG keys. One of these should reflect your Apache 
account, for example:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre 
class="highlight"><code>--------------------------------------------------
+pub   2048R/845E6689 2016-02-23
+uid                  Nomen Nescio &lt;[email protected]&gt;
+sub   2048R/BA4D50BE 2016-02-23
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Here, the key ID is the 8-digit hex string in the <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">pub</code> line: <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">845E6689</code>.</p>
+
+<p>Now, add your Apache GPG key to the Beam’s <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">KEYS</code> file both in <a 
href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/beam/KEYS";><code 
class="highlighter-rouge">dev</code></a> and <a 
href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/beam/KEYS";><code 
class="highlighter-rouge">release</code></a> repositories at <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">dist.apache.org</code>. Follow the instructions 
listed at the top of these files.</p>
+
+<p>Configure <code class="highlighter-rouge">git</code> to use this key when 
signing code by giving it your key ID, as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>git config 
--global user.signingkey 845E6689
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>You may drop the <code class="highlighter-rouge">--global</code> option if 
you’d prefer to use this key for the current repository only.</p>
+
+<h4 id="access-to-apache-nexus-repository">Access to Apache Nexus 
repository</h4>
+
+<p>Configure access to the <a href="http://repository.apache.org/";>Apache 
Nexus repository</a>, which enables final deployment of releases to the Maven 
Central Repository.</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>You log in with your Apache account.</li>
+  <li>Confirm you have appropriate access by finding <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">org.apache.beam</code> under <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">Staging Profiles</code>.</li>
+  <li>Navigate to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">Profile</code> (top 
right dropdown menu of the page).</li>
+  <li>Choose <code class="highlighter-rouge">User Token</code> from the 
dropdown, then click <code class="highlighter-rouge">Access User Token</code>. 
Copy a snippet of the Maven XML configuration block.</li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Insert this snippet twice into your global Maven <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">settings.xml</code> file, typically <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">${HOME}/.m2/settings.xml</code>. The end result 
should look like this, where <code class="highlighter-rouge">TOKEN_NAME</code> 
and <code class="highlighter-rouge">TOKEN_PASSWORD</code> are your secret 
tokens:</p>
+

+<h3 id="create-a-new-version-in-jira">Create a new version in JIRA</h3>
+
+<p>When contributors resolve an issue in JIRA, they are tagging it with a 
release that will contain their changes. With the release currently underway, 
new issues should be resolved against a subsequent future release. Therefore, 
you should create a release item for this subsequent release, as follows:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>In JIRA, navigate to the <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/project-config/BEAM/versions";><code
 class="highlighter-rouge">Beam &gt; Administration &gt; 
Versions</code></a>.</li>
+  <li>Add a new release: choose the next minor version number compared to the 
one currently underway, select today’s date as the <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">Start Date</code>, and choose <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">Add</code>.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h3 id="triage-release-blocking-issues-in-jira">Triage release-blocking issues 
in JIRA</h3>
+
+<p>There could be outstanding release-blocking issues, which should be triaged 
before proceeding to build a release candidate. We track them by assigning a 
specific <code class="highlighter-rouge">Fix version</code> field even before 
the issue resolved.</p>
+
+<p>The list of release-blocking issues is available at the <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel";>version
 status page</a>. Triage each unresolved issue with one of the following 
resolutions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>If the issue has been resolved and JIRA was not updated, resolve it 
accordingly.</li>
+  <li>If the issue has not been resolved and it is acceptable to defer this 
until the next release, update the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Fix 
Version</code> field to the new version you just created. Please consider 
discussing this with stakeholders and the dev@ mailing list, as 
appropriate.</li>
+  <li>If the issue has not been resolved and it is not acceptable to release 
until it is fixed, the release cannot proceed. Instead, work with the Beam 
community to resolve the issue.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="review-release-notes-in-jira">Review Release Notes in JIRA</h3>
+
+<p>JIRA automatically generates Release Notes based on the <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">Fix Version</code> field applied to issues. Release 
Notes are intended for Beam users (not Beam committers/contributors). You 
should ensure that Release Notes are informative and useful.</p>
+
+<p>Open the release notes from the <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel";>version
 status page</a> by choosing the release underway and clicking Release 
Notes.</p>
+
+<p>You should verify that the issues listed automatically by JIRA are 
appropriate to appear in the Release Notes. Specifically, issues should:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Be appropriately classified as <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">Bug</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">New 
Feature</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">Improvement</code>, etc.</li>
+  <li>Represent noteworthy user-facing changes, such as new functionality, 
backward-incompatible API changes, or performance improvements.</li>
+  <li>Have occurred since the previous release; an issue that was introduced 
and fixed between releases should not appear in the Release Notes.</li>
+  <li>Have an issue title that makes sense when read on its own.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Adjust any of the above properties to the improve clarity and presentation 
of the Release Notes.</p>
+
+<h3 id="create-a-release-branch">Create a release branch</h3>
+
+<p>Release candidates are built from a release branch. As a final step in 
preparation for the release, you should create the release branch, push it to 
the code repository, and update version information on the original branch.</p>
+
+<p>Check out the version of the codebase from which you start the release. For 
a new minor or major release, this may be <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">HEAD</code> of the <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">master</code> branch. To build a hotfix/incremental 
release, instead of the <code class="highlighter-rouge">master</code> branch, 
use the release tag of the release being patched. (Please make sure your cloned 
repository is up-to-date before starting.)</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>git checkout 
&lt;master branch OR release tag&gt;
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Set up a few environment variables to simplify Maven commands that follow. 
(We use <code class="highlighter-rouge">bash</code> Unix syntax in this 
guide.)</p>

+NEXT_VERSION="1.2.4-incubating"
+BRANCH_NAME="release-${VERSION}"
+DEVELOPMENT_VERSION="${NEXT_VERSION}-SNAPSHOT"
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Version represents the release currently underway, while next version 
specifies the anticipated next version to be released from that branch. 
Normally, 1.2.0 is followed by 1.3.0, while 1.2.3 is followed by 1.2.4.</p>
+
+<p>Use Maven release plugin to create the release branch and update the 
current branch to use the new development version. This command applies for the 
new major or minor version. (Warning: this command automatically pushes changes 
to the code repository.)</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>mvn release:branch 
\
+    -DbranchName=${BRANCH_NAME} \
+    -DdevelopmentVersion=${DEVELOPMENT_VERSION}
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>However, if you are doing an incremental/hotfix release, please run the 
following command after checking out the release tag of the release being 
patched.</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>mvn release:branch 
\

+
+<p>Review all staged artifacts. They should contain all relevant parts for 
each module, including <code class="highlighter-rouge">pom.xml</code>, jar,

+<p>Check out release candidate, as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>git checkout ${TAG}
+</code></pre>

clean package javadoc:aggregate \
+    -Ddoctitle="Apache Beam SDK for Java, version ${VERSION}" \

+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>By default, the Javadoc will be generated in <code

class="highlighter-rouge">apidocs</code>. (<a 
href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/1015";>Pull request 
#1015</a> will hopefully simplify this process.)</p>
+
+<p>Please carefully review the generated Javadoc. Check for completeness and 
presence of all relevant packages and <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">package-info.java</code>; consider adding less 
relevant packages to the <code 
class="highlighter-rouge">excludePackageNames</code> configuration. The index

+
+<h3 id="propose-a-pull-request-for-website-updates">Propose a pull request for 
website updates</h3>
+
+<p>The final step of building the candidate is to propose a website pull 
request.</p>
+
+<p>Add the new release to the <a href="/use/releases/">Apache Beam 
Releases</a> page, as follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Update the <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;version&gt;</code> tags 
in the sample <code class="highlighter-rouge">pom.xml</code> snippet to the new 
release.</li>

+
+<p>It is important that we improve the release processes over time. Once 
you’ve finished the release, please take a step back and look what areas of 
this process and be improved. Perhaps some part of the process can be 
simplified. Perhaps parts of this guide can be clarified.</p>
+
+<p>If we have specific ideas, please start a discussion on the dev@ mailing 
list and/or propose a pull request to update this guide. Thanks!</p>

 <p>Apache Beam (incubating) provides a portable API layer for building 
sophisticated data-parallel processing engines that may be executed across a 
diversity of exeuction engines, or <i>runners</i>. The core concepts of this 
layer are based upon the Beam Model (formerly referred to as the <a 
href="http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1792-Akidau.pdf";>Dataflow Model</a>), and 
implemented to varying degrees in each Beam runner. To help clarify the 
capabilities of individual runners, we’ve created the capability matrix 
below.</p>
