Hi Xinyu and Tsz-Wo,

Thanks for the discussion and for driving the next release forward.

>From the Apache IoTDB side, we are mainly interested in the following two 
>gRPC-related 
improvements:

* RATIS-2529: Bound gRPC worker EventLoopGroup thread count
* RATIS-2537: Support configurable gRPC TLS provider and cipher suites

Both are important for us in production deployments. RATIS-2529 helps avoid 
unexpected long-
lived gRPC worker thread inflation after follower restart/catch-up, and 
RATIS-2537 allows 
downstream projects to use specific TLS/JSSE providers, protocols, and cipher 
suites when 
required by deployment or compliance environments.

Since these two issues were fixed and are important for our downstream 
integration, we would 
like to verify them on the IoTDB side.

Would it be possible to publish a SNAPSHOT version containing these changes 
first? With a 
SNAPSHOT build available, we can upgrade the Ratis dependency in IoTDB and 
perform 
integration testing before the official release.

Best,
Haonan
