Description

Currently as part of the release we generate .md5 and .sha1 digests (as well as the pgp .asc file) and the download page http://calcite.apache.org/downloads/ references the md5 and pgp but not the sha1.

Per http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#md5-security md5 is no longer secure, and sha512 is preferred over sha256. The best approach seems to be to generate multiple digests, and generate new ones as best practices change. I think we should generate checksum file with a .mds suffix as follows:

$ gpg --print-mds apache-calcite-1.8.0-src.tar.gz | tee apache-calcite-1.8.0-src.tar.gz.mds
apache-calcite-1.8.0-src.tar.gz:    MD5 = B2 5D 0C 14 8B FE 20 0C  16 47 13 96

Apache Ranger already does this; see http://ranger.apache.org/download.html.

We would no longer generate .md5 and .sha1 files, but would continue to generate the .asc file.
