Hi Team Kafka, Here's a short status update before I am merging trunk into 0.10.0 branch and creating a new release candidate, tomorrow morning.
KIPs included in the release: KIP-28 Kafka Streams KIP-31 Relative offsets in compressed messages KIP-32 Add timestamps to messages KIP-36 Rack awareness KIP-41 KafkaConsumer max records KIP-42 Client interceptors KIP-45 Standardize client sequences (Note: There is currently a blocking asking to modify the APIs again - KAFKA-3633, I am unhappy about the last minute changes, but happy to discuss) KIP-51 List Connectors REST API KIP-4 Admin API (Just the metadata changes) KIP-35 Protocol version improvements KIP-43 SASL improvements KIP-52 Connector Control API KIPs that unfortunately need to be pushed out: KIP-33 Time-based index KIP-47 Timestamp-based deletion policy KIP-49 Fair Partition Assignment policy KIP-50 Improve Authz interface Two KIPs may get in after the release (provided high quality, documented and well-tested PR): KIP-57 - fixing an issue with LZ4 compression (since it is a bug fix) KIP-56 - Cross Origins HTTP Requests for KafkaConnect (since it is low risk) Tests, bug fixes and documentation changes are welcome any time. Yours, ${RM}
