Thanks everyone, especially Roman, for taking the time to review and vote. The
major issue is the lack of LICENSE, NOTICE, and DISCLAIMER files in the
binary and redundant dependent libraries. We will address these issues and
prepare the artifacts for RC3. Details below:
on the binary portion of this releases. Here's why:
1. The deal breaker issue is a total lack of clear IP attribution in
binary artifacts. There's no proper LICENSE, NOTICE and
DISCLAIMER file in neither the x86 binary package of HAWQ
nor in the JAVA packages of companion components. This
need to be fixed as per:
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#binary
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release-java.html#notes
Note that you HAVE to account to all the dependencies you're
bundling in a binary release which means your LICENSE and
NOTICE files will likely get bigger. For Java side of HAWQ
Apache Geode offers a good place to look for how to deal with
those files in a binary distribution.
2. This is one is less of a deal deal breaker for the first release,
but
will be so for subsequent ones: you really shouldn't be shipping
apache-tomcat package. For one, you already have a dependency
on bigtop-tomcat in hawq-ranger-plugin which means shipping
apache-tomcat is wasteful, could conflicting with distribution RPM
names and frankly looks a bit sloppy coming from the same project.
3. This is even less of a dealbreaker than #2, but it may help you
simplify solving for #1: I don't think you need to ship all those
extra dependencies in hawq-ranger-plugin -- a much better option
is getting them from a classpath just like other Java packages of
HAWQ do.
