Hi folks, So jute is a little bit the odd one out in ZooKeeper. It was pulled out of Hadoop and it evolved independently since with ZooKeeper. And it has its own namespace in ZK: org.apache.jute beside org.apache.zookeeper.
For me, this is a bit odd, it suggests its a top level apache project. The original plan in the maven migration was to move jute to simply in a "jute" top level directory in zookeeper. Like this: zookeeper | -bin | -conf | -jute | -zookeeper-client | -zookeeper-contrib | -zookeeper-docs | -zookeeper-it (integration tests) | -zookeeper-server | -zookeeper-recipes But this just seems a bit strange to me. I was thinking of possibly moving into recipes, but then again, I ended up thinking it could still get its own top level directory, but with the name "zookeeper-jute", as this particular project is only used by ZooKeeper (of course I would keep the package name intact). What do you think? As this is a change that was not in the initial doc about maven migration, I thought it's best to ask. Regards, Norbert p.s.: The best thing would be to use a more standardized library for serialization like protobuf or Avro. But that's just a distant dream right now, maybe ZooKeeper v5.0 ;)
