Hi BookKeepers ! I have drafted the design document of BP-41. This story is all about using an opaque (and customizable) BookieID instead of the BookieSocketAddress, that is the network address of the Bookie.
The details of the proposal are here: https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/2397 I am also preparing the implementation that I will send in form of 2 Pull Requests (client implementation and server implementation) once we agree on the high level design document. Please take a look and enjoy :-) Enric Enrico
