Hi,

It passes all the basic checks for a release, but sorry it's -1 (binding) from 
me until the likely copyright issues around the test data are sorted out.

I checked:
- release has incubating in the name
- signature and hashes fine
- DISCLAIMER exists
- LICENSE and NOTICE fine for the code but see below
- No unexpected binary files
- All source files have Apache headers
- Can compile from source

I think there's also a very minor issue with the NOTICE file. The copyright 
year range is 2012-2015. I assume that date range also includes the original 
copyright owners who should be added to the NOTICE file.

However of concern is the test data, it looks like there's data in there from 
twitter, facebook, instragram, google+, wikipedia, reddit, amazon, the 
economist and other places. Does the project have permission to distribute this 
data from the copyright owners? (If so I would of also expected the owners to 
be aded to the LICENSE file, assuming that is the content is obtainable under 
an Apache compatible license in the first place.)

One possible solution to make a release without the test data. The files in 
question may also be required to be removed from Apache hosted version control. 
I'm not a lawyer and it may be best to ask legal-discuss@ for advice on what to 
do here.

Thanks,
Justin
