This is the proposed agenda/meeting notes for the ZooKeeper Developer Meeting at Yahoo! on Jun 30, 2011 following the Hadoop Summit. This meeting is a chance for the core ZooKeeper developers (committers and contributors) to meet and kick around some ideas.(Please feel free to add items.)
Agenda items
- Code cleanup
- Move to maven
- Move to textile
- Managing recipe implementations
- Move to standard serialization API (which one?)
- Change data tree to reflect future
- Hack/Bug fix/Commit athon
Agenda item suggestions
- phunt – should we start 4.x and when? If so, what should that entail:
- API changes (e.g. long version fields rather than ints)
- rip out nio entirely and replace with netty
- simplify the concurrency model and implementation
- we might consider doing as a sub-project, which would allow us to try out changes to our dev model (perhaps CTR rather than RTC, ease committership, etc...)
- re-write everything, perhaps in scala
