Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, This is the first candidate for the release of Apache Kafka 0.10.2.1. This is a bug fix release and it includes fixes and improvements from 24 JIRAs (including a few critical bugs). See the release notes for more details:
http://home.apache.org/~gwenshap/kafka-0.10.2.1-rc0/RELEASE_NOTES.html *** Please download, test and vote by Thursday, 13 April, 8am PT *** Your help in validating this bugfix release is super valuable, so please take the time to test and vote! Few notes: 1. There are missing "Notable Changes" in the docs: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2824 I will review, merge and update the docs by Monday. 2. The last commit (KAFKA-4943 chery-pick) did not pass system tests yet. We may need another RC if system tests fail tonight. Suggested tests: * Grab the source archive and make sure it compiles * Grab one of the binary distros and run the quickstarts against them * Extract and verify one of the site docs jars * Build a sample against jars in the staging repo * Validate GPG signatures on at least one file * Validate the javadocs look ok ***** Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: http://kafka.apache.org/KEYS * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): http://home.apache.org/~gwenshap/kafka-0.10.2.1-rc0/ * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging * Javadoc: http://home.apache.org/~gwenshap/kafka-0.10.2.1-rc0/javadoc/ * Tag to be voted upon (off 0.10.0 branch) is the 0.10.0.1-rc0 tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kafka.git;a=tag;h=d08115f05da0e39c7f75b45e05d6d14ad5baf71d * Documentation: http://kafka.apache.org/0102/documentation.html * Protocol: http://kafka.apache.org/0102/protocol.html Thanks, Gwen Shapira
