[VOTE] Release Apache Flink 0.6 (incubating) (RC2)

[Robert Metzger]

Hi All,

Please vote on releasing the following artifacts as Apache Flink 0.6
incubating. This will be the first release for Flink since entering the
Apache Incubator.


The tag to be voted upon:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-flink.git;a=commit;h=c8585689

The artifacts to be voted on are located here:
http://people.apache.org/~rmetzger/apache-flink-0.6-incubating-rc2/

The GPG key used to sign the release are available at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/flink/KEYS

A staged Maven repository is available for review at:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheflink-1001


Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Flink 0.6 incubating.

The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of
at least three +1 PPMC votes are cast.

[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Flink 0.6-incubating
[ ]  0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...

[Robert Metzger]

I think we should create another release candidate since Stephan provided a
fix for a crucial bug here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-flink/pull/91. I'm going to test his
changes and see if it fixes the error I reported.
Also, we need to disable the POJO serialization, as it seems broken right
now.

There is one additional issue I would like to discuss here: With this
release candidate, I've named the artifacts
"apache-flink-0.6-incubating-rc2-src.tgz", my first RC had just
"flink-0.6-incubating..", without the "apache-" prefix.

Different Apache projects handle this differently, I prefer to include the
"apache" name into the files. Our name is short enough to do that and it
has a positive branding effect.
What do you think?

I've changed my opinion.

I thought about this further and think we should stick to the version *without* the prefix. The legal team asked for a release without the Apache prefix and most of the other projects don't do it either.

Do any of the mentors have input on this?

[Kostas Tzoumas]

+1 to stick to the names without prefix. Most projects do it this way, and
it makes names smaller, which is good.

Hi Robert,

No need for prefix IMHO, makes the names shorter and always assume
Flink releases will be under ASF

I am not aware of any requirement that the jar have apache in the name.

I would omit 'apache' just because that's what I see other Apache projects
do. You're right that legal mentioned it would be best in this instance to
show use of "Flink" alone as a trademark, and this helps that goal,
although I think it's possible to achieve this otherwise. Yes in general
though referring to "Apache Flink" is desirable.

I vote to include the fix to FLINK-909 and create RC3.

[Henry Saputra]

We could add the "apache" prefix for the release artifacts.

As Stephan had mentioned, Robert, could you kindly send cancel vote
email to the the RC2 vote thread by prefixing [CANCEL]  in the subject
line?
This should help keep track of different RC vote threads to vote against.

Thanks,

- Henry
