Hosted helm chart in a Helm Repository

Describe the solution you'd like

I see that there is a helm chart under this repository. It greatly simplifies installation to have the helm chart hosted in a helm repository, so it can be installed easily without downloading the repo:

helm repo add <repo>
helm install polaris-release <repo>/polaris -f values.yaml

For instance, the Apache Flink kubernetes operator is hosted in a helm chart in the repo https://downloads.apache.org/flink/flink-kubernetes-operator-1.11.0/

Hi @shantanu-dahiya thanks for raising this issue. This topic has been discussed in the dev mailing list a while ago:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/428xb6dfrmm7xgr91p2dxoy8ptcyovs2

Indeed I think it would be great to host our Helm chart somewhere, using the ASF infra makes sense.

What's the timeline for this?

[shantanu-dahiya]

I'm happy to work on this with some guidance.

I sent a message on the dev mailing list about 0.10.0-beta-incubating release: the helm charts will be published on dist.apache.org (stage/release). It will end on download.apache.org and archive.apache.org when a release is done.
So, nothing to do: the copy of the helm charts will be part of the release process.

[shantanu-dahiya]

That's great news! Do they also mention a timeline for the release?

[jbonofre]

@shantanu-dahiya I'm preparing the release. 0.10.0-beta-incubating should be on vote soon. If the vote passes, we can expect the release out in a couple of weeks.

The Helm Chart has been published along with the release 1.0.0.
