I have ran some initial validations using the steps here https://github.com/izzyacademy/apache-kafka-release-party
- Validation of Hashes looks good - Validation of GPG Keys looks good - Validation of Source Code was skipped since the build for the 3.1 branch already passed - Validation of Site Documentation looks good for 3.1.0 and the other versions - Running Multi-Node Brokers in Legacy Mode (With Zookeeper) looks good with no issues - Running Brokers in KRaft Mode (without Zookeeper) had some issues with the node configurations and I am still debugging this to see if it is a user error on my end or issues with the release candidate. It appears I may have ran into some issues from changes checked in for KAFKA-13456 to restrict configuration of nodes in KRaft mode I will spend some time on this and will report back next week. Thanks David for running the release Israel Ekpo Lead Instructor, IzzyAcademy.com https://www.youtube.com/c/izzyacademy https://izzyacademy.com/ On Thu, Dec 23, 2021 at 5:18 PM David Jacot <da...@apache.org> wrote: > Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, > > This is the first candidate for release of Apache Kafka 3.1.0. > > * Apache Kafka supports Java 17 > * The FetchRequest supports Topic IDs (KIP-516) > * Extend SASL/OAUTHBEARER with support for OIDC (KIP-768) > * Add broker count metrics (KIP-748) > * Differentiate consistently metric latency measured in millis and > nanos (KIP-773) > * The eager rebalance protocol is deprecated (KAFKA-13439) > * Add TaskId field to StreamsException (KIP-783) > * Custom partitioners in foreign-key joins (KIP-775) > * Fetch/findSessions queries with open endpoints for > SessionStore/WindowStore (KIP-766) > * Range queries with open endpoints (KIP-763) > * Add total blocked time metric to Streams (KIP-761) > * Add additional configuration to control MirrorMaker2 internal topics > naming convention (KIP-690) > > Release notes for the 3.1.0 release: > https://home.apache.org/~dajac/kafka-3.1.0-rc0/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > *** Please download, test and vote by Friday, January 7, 9am PT > > Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: > https://kafka.apache.org/KEYS > > * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): > https://home.apache.org/~dajac/kafka-3.1.0-rc0/ > > * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: > https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ > > * Javadoc: > https://home.apache.org/~dajac/kafka-3.1.0-rc0/javadoc/ > > * Tag to be voted upon (off 3.1 branch) is the 3.1.0 tag: > https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/3.1.0-rc0 > > * Documentation: > https://kafka.apache.org/31/documentation.html > > * Protocol: > https://kafka.apache.org/31/protocol.html > > * Successful Jenkins builds for the 3.1 branch: > Unit/integration tests: > https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Kafka/job/kafka/job/3.1/42/ > System tests: > https://jenkins.confluent.io/job/system-test-kafka/job/3.1/44/ > > /************************************** > > Thanks, > David >
