Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Hi,
I've published a release plan for 4.3.0 on the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Plan+4.3.0
If I've missed a KIP, feel free to add it to the list.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mickael

This is still in progress. We've already addressed the DNS issues for the consumer and producer, but we're still working through some challenges with the Admin client. Also, we've decided to postpone the refactoring until after 4.3.0.
Best,
Chia-Ping

Hi Mickael,
> - KIP-1219
I think we are quite close to merging; I've addressed the last comments
<https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/21028#discussion_r2983975330>.
Hopefully we will be done by the end of the day.
Best,
Jonah

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Mickael Maison <mi...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
Last week I gave a few extra days to the following KIPs:
- KIP-909
- KIP-1035
- KIP-1219
- KIP-1285
Can I have an update on their status? If we can't get them merged
really soon I'll have to move them to the next release.
We're also tracking KIP-1274 which is just a new log line so we can
merge it till code freeze.
Thanks,
Mickael

Hi Chia-Ping,
If that releases before code freeze, yes it should be fine.
I'm one of the users "hounded by their security teams".

Hi Michael,
For KIP-1035, the core implementation work got merged by the 18th, but the
PR for the new metric still needs to be done.
If we get it in by early next week, can we still cherry-pick this into 4.3?
It should be a low-risk PR.
Thanks,
Bill

hi Michael
If Jetty 12.0.x is released before the 4.3 code freeze, I'll push KAFKA-20344 to the 4.3 branch. This will be a huge relief for users who are currently being 'hounded' by their security teams.
Best,
Chia-Ping

Hi Jonah,
If you manage to get the PR merged to trunk by early next week, let me

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Lianet Magrans <li...@apache.org>.
Hi Mickael,
About KIP-1274, it was mainly about alignment on a path forward. The only
change shipping in 4.3 is a new log line really. We wanted to wait for some
related fixes to go in the release before adding it though (in-flight PRs
in review, expected to meet code-freeze), all linked in the KIP jira for
4.3 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20282
Given this slightly different case only adding a log line, I expect it
should be ok to just add the change before the code freeze deadline, and
still consider the KIP part of the release. Makes sense?
Thanks!
Lianet

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by David Jacot via dev <de...@kafka.apache.org>.
Hi Mickael,
We have only implemented the batching feature from KIP-1263 in version 4.3.
The offloading feature will be implemented in version 4.4. It is not an
issue because the two features work independently of each other. Please,
let me know if this works for you.
Best,
David

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Mickael Maison <mi...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
We're now in feature freeze for 4.3.0. I've cut and pushed the new 4.3 branch.
I opened a PR to bump trunk to 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT:
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/21821
Matthias, Chia-Ping, if you can get these PRs merged into trunk in the
next couple of days, feel free to cherry-pick to 4.3.
For any other KIPs, please ask here or ping me on Github if you want
to add them to 4.3. Regular fixes can still be merged into 4.3.
The next milestone is code freeze on April 8. Interesting PRs.
Thanks,
Mickael

hi Michael
KIP-909 is almost done, and we hope it can be included *in* 4.3. However, I
don't want to block the 4.3 branch cut, so I'll cherry-pick it to the 4.3
branch later if that works for you.

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by "Matthias J. Sax" <mj...@apache.org>.
Micheal,
We have one pending PR for KIP-1285 that we need to get in to get
feature complete: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/21794
I think it's in overall good shape and expect it to get merge tomorrow.
Don't think there is a need to delay the release branch cut, as we can
also cherry-pick to `4.3` branch. But wanted to give a heads up.
Hope there is no concerns about it.
Thanks,
-Matthias

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Lianet Magrans <li...@apache.org>.
Hi Mickael,
I added KIP-1274 to the list with its jira for 4.3 (this is phased KIP).
The KIP was accepted before the KIP freeze deadline.
Thanks!

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Mickael Maison <mi...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
We have now passed the KIP freeze deadline.
I have updated the release plan with the current list of KIPs.
If your KIP has been accepted before the deadline and is not in the
plan, please add it.
The next milestone is feature freeze on May 18.
Thanks,
Mickael

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release
Posted by Lucas Brutschy via dev <de...@kafka.apache.org>.
Hi Mikael,
I added KIP-1251 to the release plan. The implementation ticket was
already there but the KIP was not listed. The KIP was accepted before
the KIP freeze, implementation is underway.
Cheers,
Lucas

Hi,
If the vote has passed, feel free to add it to the plan.
Note that it does not guarantee the KIP will be in the release, you
still need to get the code merged before feature freeze.
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
I would like to add KIP-1258 :
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1258%3A+Add+Support+for+OAuth+Client+Assertion+to+client_credentials+Grant+Type
to
the release plan.
This has already been accepted. Is there anything else that is needed to be
done?

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release

Hello Mickael
I'd like to add KIP-1259 to the list:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1259%3A+Add+configuration+to+wipe+Kafka+Streams+local+state+on+startup
It was already accepted.
Can I add it by myself, or only release maganer can update this page?
Regards,
Uladzislau Blok.

Hi,
In case you missed last week's reminder, KIP freeze for 4.3.0 is this week.
So if you want a KIP to be considered for 4.3.0 it must be accepted by
the end of the week.
Thanks,
Mickael
