> The idea is to clean up the public client API to be used to bootstrap BookKeeper
> The first problem to solve is to define a clear way to create the client, in 4.4.0 there are several constructors and a builder class.
> The presence of many constructors is a burden to carry on for all the future versions, it would be better to have only a single way to boostrap the client.
> Another minor issue is that from the point of view of a developer which uses BookKeeper client API it is very difficult to decide which API use,
> We should also remove from the public API direct dependencies on third party APIs, like Netty 3.x, and maybe from ZooKeeper too.
> At the same time we must support the option for the client to reuse existing expensive shared resources (such as ZooKeeper client, or netty3 HashedWheelTimer)
> This issue may:
> - deprecate existing constructors and BookKeeper.Builder class
> - introduce a more future-proof API
