> The current release script _create_release_files.sh_ is one monolithic script that creates a release branch, changes versions in POMs and documentation, creates a release commit (but not a release tag), creates a source release, pushes Scala 2.10 and Scala 2.11 artefacts to maven, creates binary convenience releases for various Hadoop and Scala versions, stages the source and binary releases for release voting.
> If anything goes wrong in the release process modification (or complete start-over) of the process is required. I'm proposing to create a set of modular release scripts that each perform a given action. (Actually, I would like to use the _maven-release-plugin_ for that but this would require more work and doesn't work well for releasing with different Scala versions). 
> I'm proposing this set of scripts:
>  * _create_release_branch.sh_: Branch of for new release, update versions in POMs and doc, create release tag.
>  * _create_source_release.sh_: Selfexplanatory
>  * _deploy_stating_jars.sh_: Selfexplanatory
>  * _create_binary_release.sh_: Create a binary release for a specific version or for a whole matrix of versions.
> Also, having the modular scripts allows, for example, to create the binary releases (which is time consuming) on a VM somewhere, then fetching them to the local machine and sign them there. I.e. this doesn't require putting a private key and passphrase on a remote machine.
