Upgrading Storm to use Netty 4.0 or higher

Hi All,
  I am quite curious to know if there is any interest or activity  around
upgrading Storm to use Netty 4.0 or higher. From what I understand, Storm
(at least till the 0.10.0 dev branch I checked out)  still depends on Netty
3.x. and Netty 4.x is not compatible with 3.x code Link
<http://netty.io/wiki/new-and-noteworthy-in-4.0.html>. I could not find any
related issues in the Apache Storm Jira, and is curious to know if anyone
has explored implications and impact of such a change.

Regards,
Julian

Thanks for the response. I am fairly to this ecosystem. I am trying to
understand the changes required and impact. I will send another update as
soon as I have something solid.

Thanks again,
Julian Stephen

I would like to know what the benefits of upgrading would be. Upgrading a
dependency, especially something as core as this, carries with it risk.
Once we know the benefits we can weigh that against the risk.

We have not really explored going to netty 4.0.  I know at some point we will probably have to switch over to use it, but for the time being most of the dependencies that we have seen still use netty 3.X, but if you have code to use netty 4.x and want to contribute I would be happy to review it and see what we can do to support that.  Even if it involves doing some shading to support it.
