Hi Konstantine,
Thanks for that; I can get to the docs now.
I've validated the release by doing the following
- built from source
- ran all unit tests
- verified all checksums and signatures
- spot-checked the Javadoc
- worked through the quick start
- worked through the Kafka Streams quick start application
- ran KRaft in preview mode
- created a topic
- produced and consumed from the topic
- ran metadata shell
I did find some minor errors in the docs (all in quickstart)
- The beginning of the quickstart still references version 2.8
- The command presented to create a topic in the quickstart is missing
the --partitions and --replication-factor params
- The link for "Kafka Streams demo" and "app development tutorial"
points to version 2.5
But considering we can update the documentation directly and, more
importantly, independently of the code, IMHO, I don't think these should
block the release.
So it's a +1(binding) for me.
Thanks for running the release!
Bill
