@Sam
Not always. Not all LTS customers are cloudera/... customers. Do they
actually backport the changes? If yes, an opensource LTS will actually help
them.

I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that users who were after a LTS style
release would instead be going for one of the commercial versions.
Clouderas for example is
https://cloudera.com/products/apache-hadoop/apache-kafka.html, they'll then
manage patches and provide support for you?

+1 things are quite fast-moving to be honest... LTS would slow things down
and potentially drag along too much technical debt. I agree revisit this
discussion when 1.0 GAs.

If everyone agrees about the the producer and consumer apis being fixed
enough, yes, but then we should not call it 0.10.0.0 but 1.0.0.0 in my

Gerard,
I think many people use Kafka just like any other stable software. The
producer and consumer apis are mostly fixed now and many companies across
the world are using it on production for critical use-cases. I think it is

I think Kafka at the moment is not mature enough to support a LTS release.
I think it will take a lot of effort to 'guarantee' a back-port will be
more safe to use in production then the new release. For example, when you
will manage the release of 0.9.0.2, with the fixes from 0.10.0.0, you need

*bump*
Any opinions on this?

Hi all,
We find that there are many releases of Kafka and not all the bugs are back
ported to the older releases. Can we have a LTS (Long Term Support) release
which can be supported for 2 years with all the bugs back-ported?
This will be very helpful as during the last 2-3 releases, we often hav
