Thanks for the RC, David. I was able to successfully complete the following:
- Installed 3.1.0 RC1 and performed quickstart for broker and Connect (using Java 17) - Verified signatures and checksums - Verified the tag - Manually compared the release notes to JIRA - Build release archive from the tag, ran Connect tests, installed locally, and ran a portion of quickstart - Manually spotchecked the Javadocs linked above - Verified the site docs at https://kafka.apache.org/31/documentation.html has the correct version references So I'm +1 (binding) Best regards, Randall On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 6:59 AM David Jacot <da...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, > > This is the second 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-rc1/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > *** Please download, test and vote by Monday, January 17, 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-rc1/ > > * 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-rc1/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-rc1 > > * 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/3.1/60/ > System tests: > https://jenkins.confluent.io/job/system-test-kafka/job/3.1/66/ > > /************************************** > > Thanks, > David
