   Hello @li4wang ! 
   Normally we merge new features (like this one) only to master and we 
cherry-pick only the security and bug fixes to older branches. However, I see 
this commit to be valuable for the community and it doesn't change the default 
behavior. Also, I don't know when 3.9.0 will happen... so I'm open to have it 
backported to branch-3.8 and branch-3.7. @eolivelli what do you think?
   
   If we would do that, then I think no new Jira is necessary, but we would 
need two new github PRs targeting branch-3.7 and branch-3.8. Also we would need 
a small PR on master, fixing the documentation about the version numbers (since 
when this feature is available... like "New in 3.7.2, 3.8.1, 3.9.0")
   
   Just for your info: it is perfectly normal and legal (many of us actually do 
this) to build your own ZooKeeper version, based on a branch you are familiar 
with / tested before, adding only a few commits from later branches. Then use 
this in production. Building ZooKeeper is quite simple (use jdk8 and a 
relatively recent maven, then simply `mvn clean install -DskipTests`)
