I verified sigs and checksums, and the license and notice files - all looked fine to me.
I ran RAT and noticed a number of Java files without headers. This was running RAT by hand, when I did 'mvn apache-rat:check' no problems were reported, so I think the Maven RAT checking is faulty - I've opened HADOOP-9097 for this. There's also a mismatch between the SVN tag and the contents of the source tarball: the tarball has top-level LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt, README.txt files (the tag doesn't), as well as some extra site documentation files (the latter may be a consequence of HADOOP-8860 and when the tag was created). I think it's OK to release, but these last two need fixing before the next release.
