Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers,

This is the second candidate for release of Apache Kafka 2.2.0.

 - Added SSL support for custom principle name
 - Allow SASL connections to periodically re-authenticate
 - Improved consumer group management
   - default group.id is `null` instead of empty string
 - Add --under-min-isr option to describe topics command
 - API improvement
   - Producer: introduce close(Duration)
   - AdminClient: introduce close(Duration)
   - Kafka Streams: new flatTransform() operator in Streams DSL
   - KafkaStreams (and other classed) now implement AutoClosable to
support try-with-resource
   - New Serdes and default method implementations
 - Kafka Streams exposed internal client.id via ThreadMetadata
 - Metric improvements:  All `-min`, `-avg` and `-max` metrics will now
output `NaN` as default value
