Just a heads up to the community that the implementation of this KIP is almost complete. I'd like to just mention that there was a slight deviation in implementation from the approved KIP. I have updated the KIP to keep it consistent with the final implementation.
To check what has changes please see this version comparison <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/diffpagesbyversion.action?pageId=87298939&selectedPageVersions=12&selectedPageVersions=11>. Please let me know within the next couple of days if there is any objection to this update. Otherwise, the corresponding PR will be merged to trunk in its current form. Thank you! --Vahid
