Hi Suresh,
While I haven't checked out the code yet I noticed a first issue right up with
regards to the LICENSE and NOTICE files.
Currently these files 'delegate' to 3rd party LICENSE/NOTICE files embedded in
bundled artifacts. However, this is not according to the Apache rules and will
likely result in down voting this release if put up for vote.
Please use and follow the instructions and guidelines as given in the Incubator
Release Management Guideline [1] and specifically [2] for this.

Kind regards,
Ate

Some tips to validate the release before you vote:

described in README and website.
* Download the source files from compressed files and release tag and build
(which includes tests).
* Verify the distributon for the required LICENSE, NOTICE and DISCLAIMER files
* Verify if all the staged files are signed and the signature is verifiable.
* Verify if the signing key in the project's KEYS file is hosted on a public
server
Thanks for your time in validating the release and voting,
Suresh
