I saw a comment in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6598 about the possibility of removing Kafka's dependency on Zookeeper.
While I'm sure the promised KIP will have a lot of the interesting technical details, I was wondering if anyone was able to shed any light on this in terms of what sort of timeframe any removal might happen in. Or any idea about when the KIP itself might be published? Many thanks, Tom
