Raghu, Thank you for your confidence, I’ll be happy to lead a development of KafkaIO as much as I can if, of course, Beam community will be agree with that.
I've been involved in KafkaIO development for some time and it was always a pleasure to work with you on bug fixes and new features. Anyway, I don’t say “goodbye" since I’m pretty sure we will discuss together new KafkaIO things and design in the future. All the best to you with new adventure!
