There hasn't been any public discussion about the 0.8.3 release plan. There seems to be a lot of work in flight, work with patches and review that could/should get committed but now just pending KIPS, work without KIP but that is in trunk already (e.g. the new Consumer) that would be the the release but missing the KIP for the release...
What does this mean for the 0.8.3 release? What are we trying to get out and when? Also looking at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Future+release+plan there seems to be things we are getting earlier (which is great of course) so are we going to try to up the version and go with 0.9.0? 0.8.2.0 ended up getting very bloated and that delayed it much longer than we had originally communicated to the community and want to make sure we take that feedback from the community and try to improve upon it.
