GEODE-52 Remove @author tags from Java source

In preparation towards graduation I am planning to remove author tags from
all source files.

GEODE-52 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-52>, has some
discussions whether we should or shouldn`t remove them.

I would like to restart the discussion and get a fresh consensus from the
community.

Find below some of the reasons why ASF is against the author tags:

   - Attributions in source files are not up to date.
   - Software is a team effort.
   - ASF sells the code base as an ASF brand.
   - Shield against law-suits.

Arrgh caught out by the @author tag!!!

It looks like SeparateClassloaderTestRunner is not being used, so it should
just be deleted.

re-initiating discussion about removing @author tags.

I have closed old PR #100
<https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode/pull/100> as it was before
re-naming the sub projects. A new feature/GEODE-52 branch has been created
and source is checked-in after removing the author tags and considering the
review comments from PR #100
<https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode/pull/100>

I would like get current work on feature/GEODE-52 to be wrapped-up and
merge to develop and work on below pending items:

1) GEODE-1132: Add a rat task to check @author tags
2) GEODE-1133: SeparateClassloaderTestRunner has to be re-implemented

Please help reviewing the changes @ https://reviews.apache.org/r/44484/.

Thanks everyone for upvoting this change.

I have removed @author tags from 3519 (Java + JS files) using 'find . -type
f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i /@author/d'

Created a pull request #100
<https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode/pull/100>

Yay! 100th pull request on Geode.

More accurately, the information is still maintained in source control.

Do you feel lucky? Do ya....?

find . -name '*.java' -type f | xargs perl -n -i -e 'print unless
m!^\s*\*\s*@author!'

The ASF policy is well known [1] and I think @author information is no longer helpful in any case.
