As Scott Andreas mentioned in cassandra-dev slack, Zstd folks just fixed a very rare data corruption bug in zstd 1.5.4 and they released 1.5.5 literally 8 hours ago (1). Java zstd library we use seem to incorporate these changes like an hour ago (2) but there is no release yet. I am expecting they will release it very soon as well.
I think that we should fail the vote and bump zstd-jni to 1.5.5. I do not think it is a good idea to release 4.0.9 with such a bug in it when we can wait one more day or so. So, I am, unfortunately, -1.
