Hi Zeppelin users and developers, I'd like to discuss the future of ZEPPELIN-3471 - raft-based zeppelin cluster feature.
It was proposed in 2018 and the initial version shipped in Zeppelin v0.9.0, but unfortunately, the feature was not completed and was not maintained after the first delivered version. Additionally, there are a few reports(ZEPPELIN-5245, ZEPPELIN-5246) from the user that the feature does not work properly. >From the developer perspective, I found the selected raft implementation library was dead[2], and some users also left concerns about the CVEs involved in this library (see ZEPPELIN-5630). And the introduced dependencies significantly increased the packaging time of the zeppelin-interpreter-shaded module. Given the tight developer resource of the Zeppelin community, I think we can consider removing this feature if no volunteer is willing to continue to maintain it. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance. [1] https://github.com/atomix/atomix-archive Thanks, Cheng Pan
