Hi BookKeepers, we should think about a replacement for BookKeeperAdmin for "applications" using the new API.
I know that it is a low-level class and it is not intended for public usage. I am using BookKeeperAdmin in order to access programmatically to a description of the cluster (ledgers metadata) and in order to leverage "format" / "metaformat" functions. For the first usage (listing/accessing metadata) I think we could add some methods to o.a.b.api.BookKeeper interface (we already have create/open/delete). For the second usage (format/metaformat) I think I have a more high level need to "embed bookie" using a standard (community supported) API. I can take care of think for 4.8 o later. In every of my products I never run Bookie service using standard scripts so I am the first stakeholder of this topic. This email is just to start the discussion Best Regards Enrico
