Motivation

Kafka Streams has been receiving wide adoptions in the community as a robust library to build stream processing frameworks. One of the awkward situation we have been encountering is that when making a technical comparison with other streaming frameworks, Kafka Streams doesn't have a dedicated logo to represent. Using the general Kafka logo was ok, but it doesn't imply the stream processing component and would normally cause more confusions than necessary. Kafka Streams deserves a separate logo which could be very distinguishable as well as have a very strong connection to both ideas of Apache Kafka and stream processing holistically.

Public Interfaces

We are proposing two designs of the new Kafka Streams logo with a cute otter:

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?
• If we are changing behavior how will we phase out the older behavior?
• If we need special migration tools, describe them here.
• When will we remove the existing behavior?
