Hi everyone,

Since the last release of Apache Avro 1.8.2 on May 31, 2017. Two years
later,
I'm thrilled to propose the following RC to be released as official Apache
Avro 1.9.0 release.

The commit id is 8dbe05a17363a1281482e8611cfead4c04645f47
* This corresponds to the tag: release-1.9.0-rc2
* https://github.com/apache/avro/releases/tag/release-1.9.0-rc2/

The release tarball, signature, and checksums are here:
* https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/avro/avro-1.9.0-rc2/

You can find the KEYS file here:

Binary artifacts for Java are staged in Nexus here:

This release includes 272 Jira issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/AVRO/versions/12333394
* Deprecate Joda-Time in favor of Java8 JSR310 and setting it as default
* Remove support for Hadoop 1.x
* Move from Jackson 1.x to 2.9
* Add ZStandard Codec
* Lots of updates on the dependencies to fix CVE's
* and many, many more!

Since RC1, two commits have been added:

Please download, verify, and test. This vote will remain open for at least
72 hours. Given sufficient votes, I would like to close it on or about
midnight
on Thursday, 2nd of May 2019.

[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Avro 1.9.0

[ ] -1 Do not release this because...

Consider this a +1 (non-binding) from my side:
* Compiled the new version of Parquet against the Divolte collector and
Apache Parquet

Cheers, Fokko Driesprong
