Current users of ZK 3.4 and below would need to upgrade their Zookeeper installation that is used by Flink to 3.5+.

Whether K8s users are affected depends on whether they use ZK or not. If they do, see above, otherwise they are not affected at all.

Could someone please help me understand the implications of the upgrade?

As far as I understood this upgrade would only affect users that have a zookeeper shared across multiple services, some of which require ZK 3.4-? A workaround for those users would be to run two ZKs with different versions, eventually deprecating old ZK, correct?

If that is the only limitation, I'm +1 for the proposal since ZK 3.4 is already EOL.

How are K8s users affected?

Best,

Arvid
