We want to remove Zookeeper from our Kafka cluster which version to use?

Hi All,

We have a Kafka cluster [5-10 nodes] with multiple topics [with multi partitions] managed by the Zookeeper cluster. We want to remove the Zookeeper and manage the metadata using Kafka itself. I have gone through KIP 500 [Kafka] but nowhere it is mentioned which version of Kafka will this capability and by when it will be available? Please advise

Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manojbvn,

Thanks for the question.  It's good to know that people are enthusiastic about this work!

We're hoping to have an alpha version of ZK-free operation in the next Apache Kafka release.  The alpha version will not be suitable for production, and will not implement all Kafka features, but it will let you take a look and try it out.  

cheers,
Colin

Manor,

If you check the KIP it’s not yet implemented.  Also, I believe we might
see some update on ASF Kafka site and/or Confluent soon about this. In
other words, you cannot just use it yet.

Last I remember, Collin was PMing KIP-500 - so I would let them comment on
this.

Regards,
