I got another one: ZOOKEEPER-3163 Use session map to improve the performance when closing session in Netty
So, that doesn't seem too many. We can talk about backporting them, but I don't think they're super critical for the first stable release. Regarding 3.4, I need to validate the embedded scenario, but at least the Java 11 build is green. :) Andor On 1/4/19 18:08, Enrico Olivelli wrote: > Il giorno ven 4 gen 2019 alle ore 17:04 Norbert Kalmar > <nkal...@cloudera.com.invalid> ha scritto: >> +1 for Netty 4 in 3.5 >> >> Pretty much all the pros and cons has been said before me. >> I would only add that this is not a new functionality that we wan't to >> backport.
