=== Baseline Verifications for Voting Release Candidates
Although contributors have their own checklist for verifications, the following items are usually used for voting on release candidates.
* CHANGES.md if any
* RELEASENOTES.md (release notes) if any
* Generated API compatibility report
** For what should be compatible please refer the link:https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.versioning[versioning guideline], especially for items with marked as high severity
* Use `hbase-vote.sh` to perform sanity checks for checksum, signatures, files are licensed, built from source, and unit tests.
** `hbase-vote.sh` shell script is available under `dev-support` directory of HBase source. Following are the usage details.

* If you see any unit test failures, please call out the solo test result and whether it's part of flaky (nightly) tests dashboard, e.g. link:https://builds.apache.org/view/H-L/view/HBase/job/HBase-Find-Flaky-Tests/job/master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dashboard.html[dashboard of master branch] (please change the test branch accordingly).
=== Additional Verifications for Voting Release Candidates
Other than the common verifications, contributors may call out additional concerns, e.g. for a specific feature by running end to end tests on a distributed environment. This is optional and always encouraged.
* Start a distributed HBase cluster and call out the test result of specific workload on cluster. e.g.
** Run basic table operations, e.g. `create/put/get/scan/flush/list/disable/drop`
** Run built-in tests, e.g. `LoadTestTool` (LTT) and `IntegrationTestBigLinkedList` (ITBLL)
