Hi all, We have accumulated few features/improvements since the last release and would like to make Samza 1.5 release.
I wanted to kick off the discussion on the open source forum as some of these changes have already been tested internally at LinkedIn. Some of the features/improvements include but not limited to Simplifying Job Runner, Container Placements and auto enable transactional state. A comprehensive list of changes can be found here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-2527?jql=project%20%3D%20%22SAMZA%22%20and%20fixVersion%20in%20(1.5) The new release branch has already been cut and the name is "1.5.0". I would like to target the week of June 1st for voting. Thank you, Bharath
