[ANNOUNCE] Apache Kafka 2.6.0

2020-08-06 Thread Randall Hauch
The Apache Kafka community is pleased to announce the release for Apache
Kafka 2.6.0

* TLSv1.3 has been enabled by default for Java 11 or newer.
* Significant performance improvements, especially when the broker has
large numbers of partitions
* Smooth scaling out of Kafka Streams applications
* Kafka Streams support for emit on change
* New metrics for better operational insight
* Kafka Connect can automatically create topics for source connectors
* Improved error reporting options for sink connectors in Kafka Connect
* New Filter and conditional SMTs in Kafka Connect
* The default value for the `client.dns.lookup` configuration is
now `use_all_dns_ips`
* Upgrade Zookeeper to 3.5.8

This release also includes other features, 74 improvements, 175 bug fixes,
plus other changes.

All of the changes in this release can be found in the release notes:
https://www.apache.org/dist/kafka/2.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html


You can download the source and binary release (Scala 2.12 and 2.13) from:
https://kafka.apache.org/downloads#2.6.0

Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform with four core APIs:


** The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream of records to
one or more Kafka topics.

** The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one or more
topics and process the stream of records produced to them.

** The Streams API allows an application to act as a stream processor,
consuming an input stream from one or more topics and producing an
output stream to one or more output topics, effectively transforming the
input streams to output streams.

** The Connector API allows building and running reusable producers or
consumers that connect Kafka topics to existing applications or data
systems. For example, a connector to a relational database might
capture every change to a table.


With these APIs, Kafka can be used for two broad classes of application:

** Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data
between systems or applications.

** Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react
to the streams of data.


Apache Kafka is in use at large and small companies worldwide, including
Capital One, Goldman Sachs, ING, LinkedIn, Netflix, Pinterest, Rabobank,
Target, The New York Times, Uber, Yelp, and Zalando, among others.
