Tak Lon (Stephen) Wu commented on HBASE-22395:
----------------------------------------------
I'd like to give a try, and please feel free to comment on the
[PR#297|https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/297] and call out any missing item
for baseline and additional verifications. I didn't put those commands how to
run LTT and ITBLL on the reference guide, because I was assuming contributor on
voting releases will learn it when they vote on more releases.

> There are only a handful necessary checks a PMC member must do on every
> release, and all of them relate to packaging, LICENSE and NOTICE files, and
> license auditing, which can be accomplished by running the RAT tool, by
> attempting to compile from source (unit tests optional), and through manual
> inspection of LICENSE and NOTICE files in the source distribution and
> embedded in a sample of the binaries. This entire process should take you
> less than 15 minutes, from my experience. This is the baseline.
> Any individual PMCer may opt to do more than the baseline, but it is
> optional. Personally I would also read the compatibility report, and then
> run the unit test suite in the background and come back to it when finished
> to complete the voting task. In my opinion now that is the baseline tasks
> any HBase PMC voter should take. Beyond that, at least for my releases, you
> can read the vote email to find the additional functional and performance
> checks I might have done and factor that in to your voting confidence. You
> can also run them yourselves, but is totally optional.
