Description

cos reported a RAT failure with the giraph charm when reviewing 1.2.1 readiness:

• RAT (failed)
  The release tarball includes a binary file [1]. If the file is definetely
  should be a part of the release (which I have my reservations as this goes
  against source-only policy of the ASF), then at the very least we need to
  add it into RAT exclue list.

[1] bigtop-packages/src/charm/giraph/layer-giraph/resources/giraph-examples-1.1.0.jar

I happen to know that panagiotisl packed this examples.jar into the charm source because it does not exist on the system by default.

Upon further inspection, it seems this jar is available in the giraph-doc package. I think a simple fix will be to install this package during charm install so we can use the system jar and remove the binary from this source tree.

I'll open an issue on the giraph charm repo and link it here shortly.
