Hi David, I took a look at the Javadocs and noticed a small issue. Using the search bar at the top of the landing page ( https://home.apache.org/~dajac/kafka-2.8.1-rc1/javadoc/), I entered "KafkaProducer" and clicked on the search item that came up. This brought me to https://home.apache.org/~dajac/kafka-2.8.1-rc1/javadoc/undefined/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/KafkaProducer.html, which displayed a 404 "Not Found" error.
This doesn't appear to be a regression as the same behavior occurs for me when browsing the 2.8.0 Javadocs ( https://kafka.apache.org/28/javadoc/index.html?overview-summary.html), but I wanted to bring it up just in case. Normally I don't use the search bar but with the removal of sidebar frames from Javadocs I've had to start relying on it a little bit more.
