Hi,

Not sure I can vote +1 on this due to binary files in the source release - one 
of which one contains jar. Is there a reason for this?

Signatures and hashes are fine
DISCLAIMER correct
Filename contains "incubating"
NOTICE and LICENSE OK (NOTICE year may not be correct?)
Source contains binary files (see below)
Not all files have correct headers (but only a minor issue)
Had trouble compiling from source - missing instructions
Once compiled was unable to run tests (see below)

Binary files in the source release:
 
slider-0.30/slider-core/src/test/resources/org/apache/slider/common/tools/test.zip
 (contains a jar)
 slider-0.30/slider-core/src/test/python/appdef_1.tar
 slider-0.30/slider-core/src/test/python/appdef_1.zip
 
slider-0.30/slider-core/src/test/app_packages/test_command_log/package/files/command_log_10.tar
 
slider-0.30/slider-core/src/test/app_packages/test_command_log/cmd_log_app_pkg.zip

Looks like some of the tar files do not need to be there as their contents are 
already in the source. Are these zips/tars really required?

Was unable to get the functional tests to pass - most likely an issue at my end 
but without instructions that's a little hard to tell.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project slider-funtest: Could not resolve 
dependencies for project org.apache.slider:slider-funtest:jar:0.30: Failure to 
find org.apache.slider:slider-core:jar:tests:0.30 in 
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/ was cached in the local 
repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of ASF 
Staging has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

Tried with -U and still got an error - gave up at that point.

A few minor issues you may want to fix in a future release:
- May want to add apache to the artifact name
- A number of files are missing headers these are mostly json and python files, 
I believe most of these are in bundled software (such as  Jinja2) but some are 
not
- LICENSE and NOTICE are preferred to LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
- There's no instructions on how to build the source
- Looks like you need protobuf to compile this needs to be mentioned somewhere

Thanks,
Justin
