Announcing Confluent Platform 3.0.1 & Apache Kafka 0.10.0.1

Escrito por

A few months ago, we announced the release of open-source Confluent Platform 3.0 and Apache Kafka 0.10, marking the availability of Kafka Streams — the new stream processing engine of Apache Kafka — and Confluent Control Center — a comprehensive management and monitoring solution for Apache Kafka available in Confluent Platform. Since this release, Kafka Streams has received great feedback from the community and also has early adopters that have shared success stories for large-scale production deployments, for implementing microservices and reactive applications, user behavior analysis, containerized Scala stream processing applications, geospatial analysis, language classification via machine learning, and much more.

Today, I am pleased to announce the availability of the first patch release of the Kafka 0.10 series: the 0.10.0.1 release of Apache Kafka and the corresponding release of the Confluent Platform 3.0.1. The 0.10.0.1 release fixes a total of 56 issues, out of which 40 are bug fixes and 11 are general improvements. We recommend all users upgrade to this release by bumping up the version of your Kafka dependencies to 0.10.0.1 (Confluent Platform users: 0.10.0.1-cp1) in your applications and updating the binary installations on server machines.

Here is a quick overview of the notable bug fixes in the release, grouped by the affected functionality. You can review the complete list of issues fixed in the release notes and the Kafka-related list of issues in the Apache Kafka release notes.

Confluent Control Center – Available in Confluent Platform

We added the ability to delete a running connector and also added support for monitoring secure Kafka clusters. In addition, Confluent Control Center in Confluent Platform 3.0.1 is significantly more efficient; several performance fixes are included, reducing memory consumption and running overhead of Confluent Control Center.

Kafka Streams

This release introduces the new Application Reset Tool in Kafka Streams. This tool allows you to reset an application using Kafka Streams to reprocess from scratch — similar to a “reset button” on an application.

The ability to reset an application is useful in for a number of reasons — A/B testing new application business logic, development iteration, fixing a bug and upgrading the application and more.

Prior to this release, the process of resetting an application was manual and error-prone.
