Kafka 3.8.0 Release Announcement</a>
+ </h2>
+ xx July 2024 - Josep Prat (<a
href="https://twitter.com/jlprat";>@jlprat</a>)
+ <p>We are proud to announce the release of Apache Kafka 3.8.0.
This release contains many new features and improvements. This blog post will
highlight some of the more prominent features. For a full list of changes, be
sure to check the <a
href="https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/3.8.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html";>release
notes</a>.</p>
+ <p>See the <a
href="https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#upgrade_3_8_0";>Upgrading to
3.8.0 from any version 0.8.x through 3.6.x</a> section in the documentation for
the list of notable changes and detailed upgrade steps.</p>
+ <p>
+ In the last release, 3.6,
+ <a
href="https://kafka.apache.org/38/documentation.html#tiered_storage";>tiered
storage</a> was released as early availability feature.
+ In this release, Tiered Storage now supports clusters
configured with multiple log directories (i.e. JBOD feature).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Up until now, only the default compression level was used
by Apache Kafka. From this version on, a configuration mechanism to specify
compression level is included. See <a
href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-390%3A+Support+Compression+Level";>KIP-390</a>
for more details.
Review Comment:
Shall we add some perf numbers as shown by the tests ran in the KIP? 56.5%
better message/s throughput & 40% latency reduction at the cost of 9% more disk
usage in the gzip example is definitely worthy of a call out. Even more so the
lz4 example.
Unless I'm missing something, this is a very impactful config for users to
change, and it's very easy. We should urge them to explore it
