I am +1 to port this to 3.8 and to 3.7. > Just for your info: it is perfectly normal and legal (many of us actually do this) to build your own ZooKeeper version, based on a branch you are familiar with / tested before, adding only a few commits from later branches. Then use this in production. Building ZooKeeper is quite simple (use jdk8 and a relatively recent maven, then simply mvn clean install -DskipTests) This is "legal" but I must add that: - if you do this then you are not guaranteed that the project (PMC) verified the goodness of the release, so you should really know what are you doing (sometimes patches break the code and add side effects, that are fixed before releases while the community validates and blesses the release candidate). - if you go down this path, then ensure that all the tests are passing, especially using the JDK and OS that you are going to use in production Every Apache product is meant to be consumed from the Source code, but ONLY using the Source Tarballs that have been approved with a formal and official VOTE. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
