My two cents +1 , In my case, i sometimes need to run pulsar standalone in some server with limited resources.
> Proposed changes The other point i can think of is maybe schema storage also need to change from using BK to using local filesystem or some else.

Users are using the standalone as a way to get quickly started with Pulsar or in all the cases where it makes sense to have a single node deployment. Right now, the standalone is starting by default with many components, several of which are quite complex, since they are designed to be deployed in a distributed fashion. ## Goal Simplify the components of Pulsar standalone to achieve: 1. Reduce complexity 2. Reduce startup time 3. Reduce memory and CPU footprint of running standalone ## Proposed changes The proposal here is to change some of the default implementations that are used for the Pulsar standalone. 1. **Metadata Store implementation** --> Change from ZooKeeper to RocksDB 2. **Pulsar functions package backend** --> Change from using DistributedLog to using local filesystem, storing the jars directly in the data folder instead of uploading them into BK. 3. **Pulsar functions state store implementation** --> Change the state store to be backed by a MetadataStore based backed, with the RocksDB implementation. 4. **Table Service** --> Do not start BK table service by default ## Compatibility considerations In order to avoid compatibility issues where users have existing Pulsar standalone services that they want to upgrade without conflicts, we will follow the principle of keeping the old defaults where there is existing data on the disk. We will add a file, serving the purpose as a flag, in the `data/standalone` directory, for example `new-2.10-defaults`. If the file is present, or if the data directory is completely missing, we will adopt the new set of default configuration settings. If the file is not there, we will continue to use existing defaults and we will not break the upgrade operation. -- Matteo Merli <mme...@apache.org>
