Hi! As PHOENIX-6377 is a major problem for projects that consume the phoenix-client maven artifact, I think that we should release a patch release with the fix sooner than later. As soon as 4.16.0 is out, I plan to start the 5.1.1 release process from the 5.1 branch.
Let me know your thoughts, opinion, or ideas for other fixes that should go into 5.1.1. regards Istvan
