This module is to unify the different alluxio modules into a release package; typically a tarball.

The defaults are set up so that the following command will generate the tarball

mvn package assembly:single

This command will output the tar at target/alluxio-$VERSION.tar.gz along with a target/alluxio-$VERSION directory that has the same content as the tar.

Inside this tar should be all the artifacts that need to be in the release: bin, conf, libexec, jars, src, ...

All content should work out of the box, so conf should reference the tar's structure, bin should execute based off this structure, and all needed jars should be included.

For more details on how to use the generated tar, go to the docs.
