1. Move staging tarballs to the svn directory for official release. You need to be a PMC member to be able to do this step. If you are a committer, ask a PMC member to do this step for you.

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/pinot/apache-pinot-$VERSION-rc$RC https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/pinot/apache-pinot-$VERSION # NOTE: You will need your apache login and password for this step.

   Check https://downloads.apache.org/pinot
   After several hours later, check https://archive.apache.org/dist/pinot/apache-pinot-<version>/  to see if it shows up.
   (e.g. https://archive.apache.org/dist/pinot/apache-pinot-0.8.0/)

2. Delete previous release tarballs. Similar to step 1, you need to be PMC member to be able to perform this step.

   We only need to keep the most recent release, so feel free to delete any previous released distributions.

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ svn rm https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/pinot/apache-pinot-0.8.0 # NOTE: You will need your apache login and password for this step.

   
   

3. Delete release branch from github repo if any

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ git push origin --delete release-$VERSION-rc

   
   

4. Update git tag for official release

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ git checkout tags/release-$VERSION-rc$RC $ git tag release-$VERSION -m "Apache Pinot $VERSION" $ git push origin release-$VERSION

   
   

5. Update Release note for the official release on Github https://github.com/apache/pinot/releases

   1. No need to draft a new release, just EDIT the previously drafted release

   2. Replace tag name to release-<version> tag

   3. Uncheck the pre-release checkbox, then publish

   4. Delete all other rc drafts if there is any.

6. Delete all RC tags from github repo

   Code Block
   language bash
   # Clean up the rc tag to not to show on the Github release page $ git tag -d release-$VERSION-rc$RC $ git push origin :refs/tags/release-$VERSION-rc$RC

   
   

7. Publish the maven artifacts. Log in to Nexus, select the staging repository (orgapachepinot-<number>) and click Release button. Several hours later, the new version should show up at https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/pinot
8. Build docker image for the release:https://github.com/apachepinot/pinot-fork/actions/workflows/build-multi-arch-pinot-docker-image.yml .
   1. Please ask Xiang Fu to grant you permission to run the job.

   2. Build two images one for amd64 arch and one for arm64 archimages with release tag, and tag it with both tags: release-<version>  and <version> , e.g. release-0.13.0  and 0.13.0 . See below graph for the input reference.
