Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers,
This is the second candidate for release of Apache Kafka 3.3.2.
This is a bugfix release with several fixes since the release of 3.3.1. A
few of the major issues include:
* KAFKA-14358 Users should not be able to create a regular topic name
__cluster_metadata
KAFKA-14379 Consumer should refresh preferred read replica on update
metadata
* KAFKA-13586 Prevent exception thrown during connector update from
crashing distributed herder
Release notes for the 3.3.2 release:

*** Please download, test and vote by Friday, January 6, 2023, 10pm UTC
(this date is chosen to accommodate the various upcoming holidays that
members of the community will be taking and give everyone enough time to
test out the release candidate, without unduly delaying the release)

The most recent build has had test failures. These all appear to be due to
flakiness, but it would be nice if someone more familiar with the failed
tests could confirm this. I may update this thread with passing build links
if I can get one, or start a new release vote thread if test failures must
be addressed beyond re-running builds until they pass.

José, would it be possible to re-run the system tests for 3.3 on the latest
commit for 3.3 (e3212f2), and share the results on this thread?
Cheers,
Chris
