> The version of the boost library that's currently being used in HDFS is
> 1.10.2. It is VERY old. It's from a time when it perhaps the name "boost"
> wasn't even conceived. Going by the name of the library, it was probably just
> called as "asio".
> From [https://www.boost.org/users/history/] website, the earliest available
> version,1.10.3 is more than 2 decades old as it was released in 1999 -
> !image-2020-06-03-21-41-49-397.png!
> This really poses a big hurdle when it comes to upgrading to newer compiler
> versions as, some the programming constructs that are used in asio-1.10.2
> which were mere warnings back then, get flagged as outright errors with
> modern compilers. (I tried to compile Hadoop with Visual Studio 2019 and saw
> plenty of such errors).
> In the interest of keeping the Hadoop project modern and live, I would like
> to propose the idea of upgrading the boost library with the latest.
