[VOTE] Release Apache Polaris 1.6.0 (rc1)

Hi everyone,

I propose that we release the following RC as the official Apache Polaris
1.6.0 release.

This corresponds to the tag: apache-polaris-1.6.0-rc1

https://github.com/apache/polaris/commits/apache-polaris-1.6.0-rc1
https://github.com/apache/polaris/tree/dd306009d81a0e15adafe9dcd7d1c6d04d326f34

The release tarball, signature, and checksums are here:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/polaris/1.6.0

Helm charts are available on:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/polaris/helm-chart/1.6.0

NB: you have to build the Docker images locally in order to test Helm
charts.

The Python CLI wheel is available on:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/polaris/python-client/1.6.0

The Python CLI is also available on Test PyPI:

https://test.pypi.org/project/apache-polaris/1.6.0rc1/

You can find the KEYS file here:

https://downloads.apache.org/polaris/KEYS

Convenience binary artifacts are staged on Nexus. The Maven repository URL
is:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachepolaris-1069/

Please download, verify, and test according to the release verification
guide, which can be found at:

https://polaris.apache.org/community/release-guides/release-verification-guide/

Please vote in the next 72 hours.

[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Polaris 1.6.0
[ ] +0
[ ] -1 Do not release this because...

Only PMC members have binding votes, but other community members are
encouraged to cast non-binding votes.
This vote will pass if there are 3 binding +1 votes and more binding +1
votes than -1 votes.

Regards
JB

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Polaris 1.6.0 (rc1)

+1 (binding/non-binding)

I verified Apache Polaris 1.6.0 RC1 on macOS with Java 21.

Checks performed:
- Verified the Git tag apache-polaris-1.6.0-rc1 points to
dd306009d81a0e15adafe9dcd7d1c6d04d326f34.
- Ran the official release verification script successfully.
- Verified source/binary/Helm/Maven staged artifact signatures and
checksums.
- Built the source successfully with Gradle.
- Verified required LICENSE/NOTICE files are present.
- Verified the Python wheel signature/checksum and smoke-tested the CLI.
- Confirmed vote-email links are valid.

I did not run optional reproducible-build or Docker/Helm runtime checks.
