Hi William, I would like to update you on the status of the test failures.
RATIS-2104 and RATIS-2108 are probably the same. It could be just a test problem or it could be a real bug in zero copy. We are not yet sure. For more details, see the discussion in RATIS-2104. However, RATIS-2105 looks like a real zero copy bug since the test log has "IllegalStateException: Failed to release: object has already been completely released". Since you are the release manager, you may consider (1) wait a little longer to see if we could fix the bugs, or (2) cherry-pick the commits in order to exclude the zero copy. Then, I can see two choices: (2a) cherry-pick all commits except for the zero copy changes. (2b) cherry-pick only the ccmmits you like to include (bug fixes + some feature you like include). (3) any other way you would like to do. Please see which one works for you the best. Tsz-Wo
