Great checklists. +1 for recording it in our docs.

> Key: HBASE-18680

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: community, documentation
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
>
> While reviewing HBASE-18674 ("upgrade hbase to commons-lang 3"), I realized
> that my questions are the same as I'd give for any dependency change. We
> should try to update our docs to proactively push folks on checking whenever
> a dependency changes (paraphrased):
> {quote}
> # What's the license of the direct dependency overall?
> # Does it contain parts that are under a different license (esp if the
> overall is ALv2)?
> # If it is ALv2 does it contain a NOTICE file? If so, do we need to update
> our NOTICE file based on it?
> # Does it change the set of transitive dependencies? If so, apply the same
> questions above to that set of changes.
> {quote}
