Hello everyone,

This is a call for vote to release Apache DataSketches-java candidate
version:  5.0.2-rc1

This is a PATCH release. No new functionality has been introduced. There
are a number of changes stemming from two issues:
  - Issue 527 <https://github.com/apache/datasketches-java/issues/527>:
Properly use the comparator for sorting level 0 in the KllItemsSketch
  - A new version of SpotBugs created a number of potential security
warnings around Finalizer Attacks. Having done our best to look into the
matter, we do not believe sketches are meaningfully vulnerable -- any data
in the sketches is already available via reflection and there are no
methods with special conditional access. Regardless, we felt that good code
hygiene meant that we should prioritize fixing any issues found.
