Description

Currently for hbase assembly, we set 'attach' to 'false':

hbase-assembly/pom.xml:

<!--We do not want assembly attached; run on command-line explicitly
-               if you want to do an assembly-->
-          <attach>false</attach>

The result is that the hbase assembly tarball will not be deployed via 'mvn install' or 'maven deploy'

There are Apache projects that directly uses the hbase assembly tarball in their build process. For example, Slider HBase package and Ambari 2.0 Metrics.

Here is the link the maven assembly plug info on the 'attach':
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/single-mojo.html#attach

attach:

Controls whether the assembly plugin tries to attach the resulting assembly to the project.
Type: boolean
Since: 2.2-beta-1
Required: No
User Property: assembly.attach
Default: true

The assembly will only be built if 'assembly:single' is specified, and then deployed in 'maven install' or 'maven deploy'
