Re: [DISCUSS] Restart Release Pulsar 2.7.5

[Haiting Jiang <ji...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have cherry-picked all necessary commits to branch-2.7, see [1]
Notice, there are some PRs dropped from 2.7.x  for some reason.
- Upgrade Netty to 4.1.76.Final, Netty Tcnative, grpc and protobuf #15212,
Conflict with Bookkeeper 4.12.x
- Upgrade Netty to 4.1.77.Final and netty-tcnative to 2.0.52.Final #15646.
Same as above
- [Build] Use grpc-bom to align grpc library versions #15234. This depends
on #15212
- [improve][broker]Expose Netty threads num config to bookkeeper.conf
#15000. Not strictly bug fix, and not able to catch the release time.
- Prometheus metric support label #14564. Stale for months.
- Expose BookKeeper client thread pool metrics #14348. Stale for months.

And I have deleted the label `release/2.7.6`.

If any of you want some PRs to be included in 2.7.5, please reply in the
email.
I will begin the release next Wednesday (UTC+8 Time Zone).
