Release Features

This is a list of key features/improvements/bugfixes that we can include with release notes (WIP):

  • Drop support of Java 7 (KIP-118)
  • JBOD support for disk failures (KIP-112)
  • Kafka Streams API improvements (KIP-120 / 130 / 138 / 150 / 160 / 161), and drop compatibility "Evolving" annotations 

How to Contribute

Before code freeze:

  • Participate in votes and discussions to land or postpone the open KIPs
  • Review patches. We anticipate that this release will be bottlenecked mostly on reviews. The more reviewers, the more content we can fit in.
  • Write system tests. We want to preserve the tradition of high-quality releases in Apache Kafka. 

After code freeze:

  • Test the release candidates
  • Open bugs on important issues found
  • Fix bugs
  • Review bug fixes
  • Vote on RCs. Even though only PMC votes are binding, community votes are super important as we evaluate the readiness of the release
