Hi, This is the fifth candidate for the first incubator release for Apache Kafka, version 0.7.0-incubating. There were 2 critical bugs found in RC4 - KAFKA-160 and KAFKA-161. This candidate is published to fix those.
It also fixes the following issues: http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/kafka-0.7.0-incubating-candidate-5/RELEASE-NOTES.html *** Please download, test and vote by Nov 3rd, 6 pm Note that we are voting upon the source (revision), binaries are provided for convenience.
