Krishnan You can take a look at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Release For steps that
could help to reproduce the build.
A really important contribution is to try to update in any of the projects where
you use Avro to use the latest version (the one being voted) and report if any
potential issue or regression. If you use Avro in a Java project with maven you
can do this by adding the URL that corresponds to the artifacts being voted.
