+1 (binding) Great job!
Things to improve, none of which I consider release-blocking: - Missing Apache header in a few files, mostly XML and like files. It would be great to make all that part of checkstyle. - Examples produce shaded artifact, which bundles parts of Beam, Spark. This bundling requires updates to license and notice files. But, this shading process doesn't change what the main output JAR is, or what is being uploaded to Nexus. I'm not sure what's the value of releasing binary examples when nobody should link against them. I'd guess you'd want to change this either to a Maven archetype or release source-only. You can choose to address (or push back against) these for this release or the next subsequent release. The first requires a new vote, so I wouldn't recommend fixing it now, unless there are other issues. Depending on how you want to address the second one, you may be able to fix it within Nexus, without a new candidate/vote. > If this is incorrect/less-preferable, please let me know so that I can > > upload a new tarball. > No, leave this as is. It is perfect. * * * Overall, I'm thrilled to see this release going out. Thank you for the great work.
