Hi, Here are the system test results. To speed it up I ran kafkatest/tests/core and all the other ones in parallel: - core: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nvFq2L35FgFRF9PL6Zv7iRK56V2-ZBft/view?usp=drive_link - non-core: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vzdVxEBmaJYa32PWuobu_UvgKIrovrjZ/view?usp=drive_link
The only failure is still kafkatest.tests.core.network_degrade_test.test_rate_device_name=eth0_latency_ms=50_metadata_quorum=COMBINED_KRAFT_rate_limit_kbit=1000000_task_name=rate-1000-latency-50 This is tracked in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19549 Thanks, Mickael On Tue, Aug 5, 2025 at 7:56 PM Mickael Maison <mickael.mai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, > > This is the third candidate for release of Apache Kafka 4.1.0. > > The release brings many new features and improvements: > - Mechanism for plugin to register metrics > - Allow running multiple versions of connector plugins > - Queue are now in preview access > - New Streams rebalance protocol in early access > - Support for OAuth jwt-bearer grant type > - Improved metadata replication > > Release notes for the 4.1.0 release: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.1.0-rc2/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > *** Please download, test and vote by Friday August 8. > > Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: > https://kafka.apache.org/KEYS > > * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.1.0-rc2/ > > * Docker release artifacts to be voted upon: > apache/kafka:4.1.0-rc2 > apache/kafka-native:4.1.0-rc2 > > * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: > https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ > > * Javadoc: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.1.0-rc2/javadoc/ > > * Tag to be voted upon (off 4.1 branch) is the 4.1.0 tag: > https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/4.1.0-rc2 > > * Documentation: > https://kafka.apache.org/41/documentation.html > PR (https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/pull/702) updated for RC2 is > not merged yet > > * Protocol: > https://kafka.apache.org/41/protocol.html > PR (https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/pull/702) updated for RC2 is > not merged yet > > * Successful CI builds for the 4.1 branch: > Unit/integration tests: > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/16753255070 > System tests: Tests are currently running, I'll post the results once > they complete > > * Successful Docker Image Github Actions Pipeline for 4.1 branch: > Docker Build Test Pipeline (JVM): > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/16753270537 > Docker Build Test Pipeline (Native): > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/16753280218 > > Thanks, > Mickael
