Hi all, I'd like to invite you all to discuss removing SecurityManager support from Kafka. This affects the client and server SASL mechanism, Tiered Storage, and Connect classloading.
Find the KIP here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1006%3A+Remove+SecurityManager+Support I think this is a "code higiene" effort that doesn't need to be dealt with urgently, but it would prevent a lot of headache later when Java does decide to remove support. If you are currently using the SecurityManager with Kafka, I'd really appreciate hearing how you're using it, and how you're planning around its removal. Thanks! Greg Harris
