So just for the record, I don't expect many to agree: It's my understanding that ZooKeepers first duty is reliability. The last major release (3.4.0) however was immediately followed by two bugfix releases and jira already shows another 5 blockers and 27 critical bugs. Maybe it would be a good idea now to make robustness and stability the first priority and refuse any new features for the next time. As for Patrick's idea of scalability I think that there is a lot of potential to make ZK scale even more. I've already outlined the idea of an immutable datatree and the possibility to handle read requests in parallel, independent from the write queue. The recently discussed "Disruptor" system[1] is also worth a look for inspiration. But it would be hazardous if not impossible to explore any such path without cleaning up the code first.
