[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-5977) Upgrade RocksDB dependency to legally acceptable one

Stevo Slavic created KAFKA-5977:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade RocksDB dependency to legally acceptable one
                 Key: KAFKA-5977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5977
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: streams
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
            Reporter: Stevo Slavic
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 1.0.0


RocksDB 5.5.5+ seems to be legally acceptable. For more info see
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303 and
- https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x

Even latest trunk of Apache Kafka depends on older RocksDB https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/gradle/dependencies.gradle#L67

If I'm not mistaken, this makes all current Apache Kafka 0.10+ releases not legally acceptable Apache products.

Please consider upgrading the dependency. If possible please include the change in Apache Kafka 1.0.0 release, if not also in patch releases of older still supported 0.x Apache Kafka branches.
