Thanks for the RC, Konstantine. I was able to successfully complete the following:
- Installed 3.0.0 RC2 and performed quickstart for broker and Connect - Verified signatures and checksums - Verified the tag - Manually compared the release notes to JIRA - Build release archive from the tag, ran Connect tests, installed locally, and ran a portion of quickstart - Manually spotchecked the Javadocs linked above - Verified the site docs at https://kafka.apache.org/30/documentation.html has the correct version references, except for the tar and cd commands in step 1 of the https://kafka.apache.org/30/documentation.html#quickstart. I think that last issue is minor and not worth another RC, since the other version references in https://kafka.apache.org/30/documentation.html do reference 3.0.0 and we can easily fix it on the website, optionally as part of the other post-vote changes to the site. If that's not intentional, then perhaps the Release Process steps could be changed to address this, since this also happened with 2.8.1 RC1. So I'm +1 (binding) Best regards, Randall On Mon, Sep 13, 2021 at 7:36 PM Colin McCabe <cmcc...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Konstantine, > > I validated the RC by doing the following: > > * Downloading the source and building using Java 11 > * Running unit tests > * Setting up a three-node KRaft cluster in combined mode > * Testing creating a topic, producing and consuming from it, then > restarting the kraft brokers > * Testing Kafka metadata shell > > +1 (binding) > > best, > Colin > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2021, at 11:12, Bill Bejeck wrote: > > 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 > > > > > > > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 2:36 AM Konstantine Karantasis < > kkaranta...@apache.org> wrote: > >> Hi Bill, > >> > >> I just added folder 30 to the kafka-site repo.
