Hi folks, We are working with Kafka 8.2.2 and want to use producer.type as async for sending messages to broker.
In Kakfka 8.2.2, some new producer properties have been introduced. However, there is no new name for the property producer.type mentioned in the documentation. We’ve the following configuration for Kafka producer: bootstrap.servers: localhost:9092 serializer.class: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer key.serializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer value.serializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer acks: 1 producer.type: async On sending messages, we are seeing following message in logs: 2015-11-23 18:18:50 TRACE KafkaProducer:158 -

Also, it is unable to recognize serializer.class parameter which was a parameter in old Kafka producer config. Regards, Amit Information contained in this e-mail message is confidential.
