Description

The assembly module (with the dist profile) generates a zip file just containing lib folder with jar files.

The apache-release profile (inherited from the Apache POM) creates a source distribution.

IMHO the binary distribution should be really useful with a bin folder, examples, etc, allowing users to start quickly with CarbonData.

NOTE: the binary distribution should contain a specific NOTICE as it bundles lot of dependencies.
