Hi Chris,

ZooKeeper is one of the projects that raised a Jira on the build failure. I 
think your concern is valid and our project is in the middle of deco’ing the 
support for Java 9, but - as others mentioned already - we didn’t expect that 
CI got broken suddenly.

Not a big deal IMHO - ZooKeeper will probably be supported on Java 8 and 11 
from now on.

Regards,
Andor
