[VOTE] Release Apache Arrow 0.7.1 - RC0

[Wes McKinney <we...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I'd like to propose the 1st release candidate (rc0) of Apache
Arrow version 0.7.1.  This is a bugfix release from 0.7.0.

The source release rc0 is hosted at [1].

This release candidate is based on commit
6354053e39dbed5b5317a5f4070f366833e9544d [2]

The changelog is located at [3].

Please download, verify checksums and signatures, run the unit
tests, and vote on the release. Consider using the release
verification scripts in [4].

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.

[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Arrow 0.7.1
[ ] +0
[ ] -1 Do not release this as Apache Arrow 0.7.1 because...

Thanks,
Wes

-1 (binding)

I verified the release on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) with

dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh 0.7.1 0

and it passed perfectly (verifying C++, Python, C / GLib, Java, JS). I
suggest others try the script out for this release

Unfortunately, it turns out that for the source release script to work
correctly on Windows, and the setting

git config core.symlinks true

must be set or symlinked files do not get replaced with their
contents. This is brittleness that we should fix (by consolidating all
CMake modules in a single directory). \

I will send out a new RC (after I test it on Windows, of course). see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1617
