   - Download links are valid
   - GPG signature good (signed by Fokko Driesprong <fo...@apache.org>)
   - SHA-512 matches
   - LICENSE / NOTICE / README present in the source tree
   - No unexpected binary artifacts in the source tarball
   - Tag apache-parquet-1.18.0-rc2 resolves to the RC commit
   - Tarball contents match the signed tag (no deviations)
   - Builds and tests pass from source (LC_ALL=C ./mvnw clean install,
   Thrift 0.23.0)

Thank you for the release, Fokko.

Validated checksums, full build with maven clean install, validated
downstreaming into Apache Spark. All good.

Thanks for your pragmatic approach with the release Fokko!

I've verified the tarball checksum/signature and content. Built/tested the
source code. Verified the artifacts' content with Steve's Auditor tool.
Also validated the artifacts with Dremio build/tests. Everything passed.
