Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-22395:
----------------------------------------
Agreed, if there is a script that automates checks we should all use it and
wrangle it until its ease of use makes that possible for all interested in
voting. Let me go over to that JIRA and make sure it's available and workable
with branch-1s.

> There are only a handful necessary checks a PMC member must do on every
> release, and all of them relate to packaging, LICENSE and NOTICE files, and
> license auditing, which can be accomplished by running the RAT tool, by
> attempting to compile from source (unit tests optional), and through manual
> inspection of LICENSE and NOTICE files in the source distribution and
> embedded in a sample of the binaries. This entire process should take you
> less than 15 minutes, from my experience. This is the baseline.
> Any individual PMCer may opt to do more than the baseline, but it is
> optional. Personally I would also read the compatibility report, and then
> run the unit test suite in the background and come back to it when finished
> to complete the voting task. In my opinion now that is the baseline tasks
> any HBase PMC voter should take. Beyond that, at least for my releases, you
> can read the vote email to find the additional functional and performance
> checks I might have done and factor that in to your voting confidence. You
> can also run them yourselves, but is totally optional.
