Hi Konstantine, Please Add the following KIPs into Kafka 3.0 plan. In the case of KIP-653, it was passed already but not included in the 2.8.0 release.
- KIP-653: Upgrade log4j to log4j2 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-653%3A+Upgrade+log4j+to+log4j2> - KIP-719: Add Log4J2 Appender <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-719%3A+Add+Log4J2+Appender> I also updated the proposal documents reflecting the recent changes to our codebase. Especially: 1. KIP-653 document <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-653%3A+Upgrade+log4j+to+log4j2> now explains which modules will be migrated and why. 2. KIP-719 document <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-719%3A+Add+Log4J2+Appender> now explains not only the log4j2-appender plan but also upgrading the omitted modules in KIP-653 into log4j2. As you can see here, those two KIPs are the different parts of the same problem. I believe the community will have a good grasp on why both KIPs are best if released altogether.
