Hi there, Here is what I did: - Verified signature and hashes - Built kafka from source - Executed tests - all passed - Started Zookeeper, Kafka broker, a console producer and consumer. Verified that the stream of records published to my test Kafka topic was processed - Ran the Kafka Streams demo app - worked as expected
- Tried to validate the release candidate by running system tests too. Unfortunately, tests are failing because they cannot download old binaries from the specified mirror (http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/apache/kafka/ (it was fixed by KAFKA-6247). - version.py in system tests might need to be updated ("1.0.1" is missing) +0 (non-binding) because of the system test issue Regards, - Attila > On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 1:06 AM, Ewen Cheslack-Postava <e...@confluent.io> > wrote: > >> Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, >> >> This is the third candidate for release of Apache Kafka 1.0.1. >> >> This is a bugfix release for the 1.0 branch that was first released with >> 1.0.0 about 3 months ago.
