hi Colin I'm sending this email to remind developers who plan to test E2E for RC2.
There is an issue with the E2E tests due to the new release of Ducktape. I've filed KAFKA-17781 to address it. Only developers who recently rebuilt the E2E image will encounter this issue, so I assume it is NOT a blocker for RC2.
