----------------------------------
Summary: Recommend Scala 2.12 and use it for development
Key: KAFKA-7524
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7524
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ismael Juma
Assignee: Ismael Juma
Fix For: 2.2.0
Scala 2.12 has better support for newer Java versions and includes additional
compiler warnings that are helpful during development. In addition, Scala 2.11
hasn't been supported by the Scala community for a long time, the soon to be
released Spark 2.4.0 will finally support Scala 2.12 (this was the main reason
preventing many from upgrading to Scala 2.12) and Scala 2.13 is at the RC
stage. It's time to start recommending the Scala 2.12 build as we prepare
support for Scala 2.13 and start thinking about removing support for Scala 2.11.
In the meantime, Jenkins will continue to build all supported Scala versions
(including Scala 2.11) so the PR and trunk jobs will fail if people
accidentally use methods introduced in Scala 2.12.
