Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-1604:
-----------------------------------------
Here are a couple things to also consider.
Maybe the patches aren't getting reviewed because we (committers) don't have
the expertise to review, nor the infrastructure to test the changes. (let's
assume we have the time, although based on the PA load I don't think that's
true). From what I saw folks were hesitant to move these forward w/o
understanding and validating the impact.
You can get ZooKeeper packages from Cloudera, certainly, but you can also get
them from Hortonworks, or from Canonical (deb)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=zookeeper or RPMs
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=zookeeper etc...
The Hadoop ecosystem has moved forward. There just isn't the value in a project
trying to maintain it's own packages when others are already doing so. Apache
already has it's own packaging infrastructure that lots of folks are using and
contributing to - Apache Bigtop. I'd rather see the investment go there.
