@srdo You asked what the maven release commands were. They are:
```
mvn release:prepare -P dist
mvn release:perform -P dist
```
Note that the process modifies the pom files, checks in changes, tags, and
pushes to ASF git. So if you want to test the release process you will need to
revert those changes.---
