Summary: Restore ZKUtil.deleteRecursive in order to help compatibility of applications with 3.5 and 3.6 Key: ZOOKEEPER-3763 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3763 Project: ZooKeeper Issue Type: Wish Components: java client Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Reporter: Enrico Olivelli In HerdDB project (https://github.com/diennea/herddb) we are using BookKeeper that in turn uses ZKUtil.deleteRecursive. This is the issue on BookKeeper https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/2292 This is the error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.zookeeper.ZKUtil.deleteRecursive(Lorg/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeper;Ljava/lang/String;)V Apart from trying to fix BookKeeper, we should take into consideration to restore that signature (adding some dummy method that calls the new one) in order to ease adoption of ZooKeeper 3.6.x In fact it is very common that an application uses multiple ZooKeeper based libraries, like HBase, BookKeeper, Pulsar, Kafka...and the user cannot upgrade to 3.6 until every other dependency is able to work with 3.6.0. If the fix is easy, like in this case, it is worth to help the community -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
