Hello! We at Facebook have been running and enhancing ZooKeeper for more than 5 years; as you may already know, much of our critical infrastructure has come to rely on it and the number of ensembles in use at Facebook has grown many fold.
You may have also noticed some of us upstreaming more actively in the recent past; we've upstreamed about 16 of our internal patches in the recent weeks. We have a lot more improvements to share. To give you a peek at some of the categories of improvements we've made and we look forward to sharing with the community, we have patches that add new features, reliability improvements, performance improvements, tooling improvements, metrics, and unit tests. The below chart gives you an idea on all the categories of investments we have planned to be upstreamed. [cid:[email protected]] Thank you for your support so far in reviewing and providing feedback on our patches and we continue to look forward to your support going forward in the next few months as we upstream more. As our ZooKeeper team within Facebook has grown, we also look forward to working with the community more closely and collaborating in reviewing issues and patches to make ZooKeeper more awesome! Last but not least, we look forward to hosting a meet-up this fall in our Menlo Park office (potentially in October/November). It will be wonderful to see you all in person and we are eager to talk to you more about our future investments in Zookeeper. More details on the summit and call for content in the coming weeks. Till then, see you on the PR's and Jira's! ZooKeeper @ Facebook
