1. Tag the release and delete the release candidate tag:

   No Format
   git tag -s rel/release-X.Y.Z release-X.Y.Z-rcR -m "HiveX.Y.Z release." # where -rcR was the last tagged release candidate that passed the vote git push origin rel/release-X.Y.Z git tag -d release-X.Y.Z-rcR git push origin :release-X.Y.Z-rcR

   
   

2. Move the release artifacts to the release area of the project (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive/). Using svn mv command is important otherwise you may hit size limitations applying to artifacts(

   Jira
   server ASF JIRA serverId 5aa69414-a9e9-3523-82ec-879b028fb15b key INFRA-23055

   )

   No Format
   svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hive/hive-X.Y.Z https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive/hive-X.Y.Z -m "Move hive-X.Y.Z release from dev to release"

   
   

3. Wait till the release propagates to the mirrors and appears under: https://dlcdn.apache.org/hive/

4. In your base hive source directory, generate javadocs as follows:

   No Format
   mvn clean install javadoc:javadoc javadoc:aggregate -DskipTests -Pjavadoc

   After you run this, you should have javadocs present in your <hive_source_dir>/target/site/apidocs

5. Check out the javadocs svn repository as follows:

   No Format
   svn co --depth empty https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/hive/content/javadocs

   
   

6. Copy the generated javadocs from the source repository to the javadocs repository, add and commit:

   No Format
   mkdir <hive_javadocs_repo_dir>/rX.Y.Z/ cd <hive_javadocs_repo_dir> cp -r <hive_source_dir>/target/site/apidocs ./rX.Y.Z/api svn add rX.Y.Z svn commit

   If this is a bugfix release, svn rm the obsoleted version. (For eg., when committing javadocs for r0.13.1, r0.13.0 would have been removed)

7. Prepare to edit the website.

   No Format
   git clone https://github.com/apache/hive-site.git

   
   

8. Edit files content/downloads.mdtext and javadoc.mdtext to appropriately add entries for the new release in the appropriate location. For example, for 1.2.0, the entries made were as follows:

   Code Block
   language text
   ./downloads.md:### 18 May 2015 : release 1.2.0 available ./downloads.md:You can look at the complete [JIRA change log for this release][HIVE_1_2_0_CL]. ./downloads.md:[HIVE_1_2_0_CL]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12329345&styleName=Text&projectId=12310843 ./javadoc.md: * [Hive 1.2.0 Javadocs][r1.2.0] ./javadoc.md:[r1.2.0]: /javadocs/r1.2.0/api/index.html

   As you can see, you will need a release note link for this release as created previously for this section.

9. Push your changes to the https://github.com/apache/hive-site/tree/gh-pages branch, and you can preview the results at https://apache.github.io/hive-site/. If everything is ok, then you can push your changes to https://github.com/apache/hive-site/tree/main branch and see the results at https://hive.apache.org/ site.

10. Update JIRA
    1. Ensure that only issues in the "Fixed" state have a "Fix Version" set to release X.Y.Z.
    2. Release the version. Visit the releases page.  Select the version number you are releasing, and hit the release button. You need to have the "Admin" role in Hive's Jira for this step and the next.
    3. Close issues resolved in the release. Disable mail notifications for this bulk change.
       
       

11. Login to the Apache Nexus server and mark the release candidate artifacts as released.

12. Add the release in Apache Committee Report Helper for the next board report to pick that up automatically. 

13. Send a release announcement to Hive user and dev lists as well as the Apache announce list. This email should be sent from your Apache email address:
