Hi all, I'm writing to express our need for the 3.9.4 release that includes the fix for ZOOKEEPER-4846 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4846>.
At Elastic, we use ZooKeeper heavily and have already upgraded to version 3.9.3. Unfortunately, we're directly experiencing the issues described in ZOOKEEPER-4846, and it's causing significant operational problems for us. The real-world impact we're seeing includes: 1. Deployment failures that require manual human intervention to resolve 2. Approximately 2 out of 3 of our ZooKeeper instances encounter this issue during our releases 3. This creates a reliability concern as human intervention becomes a requirement for what should be automated operations We've confirmed that the root cause matches ZOOKEEPER-4846 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4846>, and we're eagerly awaiting the 3.9.4 release that has the fix already lined up. Having this fix is critical for us to maintain reliable operations while staying on current ZooKeeper versions. Is there anything we can do to help expedite the 3.9.4 release? We're happy to provide additional information about our experience or assist with testing. On 2025/05/06 10:17:09 tison wrote: > This is a release candidate for 3.9.4. > > This is a minor release.
