Hi All, I'd like to start a vote on this proposal: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-595%3A+A+Raft+Protocol+for+the+Metadata+Quorum. The discussion has been active for a bit more than 3 months and I think the main points have been addressed. We have also moved some of the pieces into follow-up proposals, such as KIP-630.
Please keep in mind that the details are bound to change as all of the pieces start coming together. As usual, we will keep this thread notified of such changes. For me personally, this is super exciting since we have been thinking about this work ever since I started working on Kafka! I am +1 of course. Best, Jason
