[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Flink 0.8.1
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because ...

The release is good, except for the fact that the standalone plan
visualizer tool is broken.

Since this is the first test, I would actually like to stop the vote and
fix the release, it is a minor issue, I'll open a pull request immediately.
I am not adamant on this, though, because it affects only a minor util, not
a core component of the system. If the majority votes to proceed, I am
okay.

Verified the following:

 - All versions are correct
 - No binaries in the release
 - License headers are good
 - Verified that LICENSE and NOTICE files reflect the source and binary
dependencies accordingly
 - Readme looks good, URLs refer to post-graduation website
 - code compiles, all tests pass
 - ran examples in local mode
 - ran examples in a local 2 node cluster
 - checked plan visualizer standalone
 - checked plan visualizer web frontend
 - validated log output - no error messages encountered


Minor issues:
 - directory with examples contains the
"flink-java-examples-0.8.1-javadoc.jar" file
 - Web server logs about "Nephele"

I think we should go for quality - even minor tools should work.
Let's quickly fix this and throw out a new release candidate.
