   > > However, that support was for decompressing externally supplied .zst 
files. Druid still documents zst as a supported batch-ingestion format, and the 
current path delegates these files to zstd-jni.

   > Fair, I guess it just seems unfortunate to block upgrades on stuff because 
we can't read hypothetical batch input files that would likely have been 
written with a version more than 10 years old at this point. I think i'd be in 
favor of just calling this out in release notes and telling people to re-encode 
their files prior to ingest if they run into problems, but I am interested in 
others opinions as well.
   
   We can do that. 
   
   But for us, we can't ask users to re-encode old files only when they 
encounter the problem. And if such problem happens, I don't think it's easy to 
re-encode old files,  because users take time to upgrade their data pipelines 
to use newer zstd encoders. And such upgrading may also bring some concerns 
because these files are not only used by druid only.
   
   My opinion is that if there's no severe CVEs on 1.5.7.11 or there're no new 
features we must to use in newer releases, let's keep using it.
