Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-8897: ---------------------------------------- I don't think we can work on this ticket atm – bumping the major version of RocksDB is a backward incompatible change and we can only do this for a major Kafka release, and there are not plans yet to bump the version to 3.0.0. [~axitkhurana] To get started, maybe look for tickets labeled as "newbie" or "beginner". > Increase Version of RocksDB > --------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-8897 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8897 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: streams > Reporter: Bruno Cadonna > Assignee: Bruno Cadonna > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > A higher version (6+) of RocksDB is needed for some metrics specified in > KIP-471. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
