Description

Lars Francke suggested this one to me offline and I think it's an excellent idea, so just raising it here for posterity.

see https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/apache/7/apache-7.pom

If we changed the HBase top-level pom to have a parent of the ASF one we can share some configuration love here, take advantage of 'known good' plugins, slim down the HBase pom definition even more (I love removing code, it's my favourite task) and abide by standard Apache release artifact signing and packaging processes.

this should be simple. Lars or I will work up a patch when one of us has some time.

(nice thinking Lars!)
