Releases
Releases
There is currently one release in progress, 3.3.0.
3.3.0
The release process for 3.3.0 continued. José Armando García Sancio published the first release candidate on August 29. A few issues, including KAFKA-14187 and KAFKA-14156, were found during testing, so José built RC1 on September 1. The vote is currently ongoing. You can find the release plan in the wiki.
Kafka Improvement Proposals
Kafka Improvement Proposals
Last month, the community submitted three Kafka Improvement Proposals (KIPs) (KIP-863 to KIP-865). I'll highlight a couple of them:
KIP-864: Add End-To-End Latency Metrics to Connectors. This KIP proposes adding a few new metrics to track end-to-end latency for records flowing through Connect. This would also include metrics tracking the time spent in converters.
KIP-865: Support --bootstrap-server in kafka-streams-application-reset. This very small KIP aims at addressing a discrepancy with the
kafka-streams-application-reset.sh
tool. This tool currently uses the--bootstrap-servers
flag, while all other tools use--bootstrap-server
, so it will be updated for consistency.
