Hi -

I was exploring the project in GitHub and I noticed a reference to RocksDB. As 
part of an Apache project it is important to make sure that all of the required 
dependencies have licenses that are compatible with the Apache License 2.0 and 
also that those licenses do not in anyway interfere with downstream consumer's 
rights to make use of the project code however they wish.

There is a legal affairs committee which handles these questions. Resolved 
licenses are found here [1]. The mailing list is [email protected]. Each 
question is typically handled via JIRA. RocksDB has just been declared Category 
X which means it is not suitable. The discussion occurred here [2]. It did 
included that some projects are using RocksDB and this use may be grandfathered.

Is RocksDB required for Pulsar? If so then we need to have a discussion.

Regards,
Dave
