Re: [VOTE] 2.1.0 RC0

[Dong Lin]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for your help with testing the release! It has taken us some time to
validate the system tests for 2.1.0, fix flaky test and discuss/fix upgrade
note. All these issues are resolved now.

I have started another email thread to vote for 2.1.0 RC1. Please help test
and vote for RC1 when you get time. Hopefully we can officially release
Apache Kafka 2.1.0 next week.

Cheers,
Dong

Hi Dong,
Is there a RC1 planned with configs documentation fixes and
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5857 ?

Thanks,

[VOTE] 2.1.0 RC0

[Dong Lin]

Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers,

This is the first candidate for feature release of Apache Kafka 2.1.0.

This is a major version release of Apache Kafka. It includes 28 new KIPs and

critical bug fixes. Please see the Kafka 2.1.0 release plan for more
details:

*https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=91554044*


Here are a few notable highlights:

- Java 11 support
- Support for Zstandard, which achieves compression comparable to gzip with
higher compression and especially decompression speeds(KIP-110)
- Avoid expiring committed offsets for active consumer group (KIP-211)
- Provide Intuitive User Timeouts in The Producer (KIP-91)
- Kafka's replication protocol now supports improved fencing of zombies.
Previously, under certain rare conditions, if a broker became partitioned
from Zookeeper but not the rest of the cluster, then the logs of replicated
partitions could diverge and cause data loss in the worst case (KIP-320)
- Streams API improvements (KIP-319, KIP-321, KIP-330, KIP-353, KIP-356)
- Admin script and admin client API improvements to simplify admin
operation (KIP-231, KIP-308, KIP-322, KIP-324, KIP-338, KIP-340)
- DNS handling improvements (KIP-235, KIP-302)
