It doesn't look like it's going to be ready anytime soon though.
Just to confirm, Pulsar has on it's roadmap to remove it's dependency on Zookeeper. Is that correct?
That's correct, we're moving to have a pluggable metadata store and coordination service.
Note that this is a different goal from the KIP referenced above, which is to entirely remove any dependency on an external configuration service. The idea of “pluggable consensus” is explicitly rejected in this KIP.
