[VOTE] Release of Apache Phoenix 4.0.0 incubating RC2

[James Taylor <ja...@apache.org>]

Hi everyone,
This is a call for a vote on Apache Phoenix 4.0.0 incubating RC2. This is
the next major release of Phoenix compatible with the 0.98 branch of Apache
HBase (0.98.1+) and will be our third release in the incubator. The
previous RC was sunk due to some errors in the NOTICE and LICENSE files and
some discrepancies between the git source and the source bundle. This new
RC fixes those issues as well as two additional bugs. The release includes
both a source-only release and a convenience binary release.

The 4.0.0 release has feature parity with our pending 3.0.0 release. New
features include:
- Equi-joins through broadcast hash join
- Shared tables over same physical HBase table
- Read-only and updatable views
- Multi-tenancy
- JDBC ARRAY type
- Sequence creation and usage
