There is legal problem for older rocksdb versions, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303?focusedCommentId=16109870&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16109870
Dependencies with Facebook BSD+Patents license are not allowed to be included in Apache products https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x I see even latest trunk depends on older rocksdb 5.3.6 https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/gradle/dependencies.gradle#L67 Please consider upgrading, maybe as critical for 1.0.0 release if possible. Should I create the ticket? Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
