Preliminary blog post about the Apache 2.6.0 release
I've prepared a preliminary blog post about the upcoming Apache Kafka 2.6.0
release.
Please take a look and let me know via this thread if you want to
add/modify details.
Thanks to all who contributed to this blog post.
Unfortunately, the preview is not currently publicly visible at
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/kafka/?previewEntry=what-s-new-in-apache3
(I've
logged https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20646), so in the
interest of time I created a Google doc with read privilege for everyone by
pasting the preview content directly into:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQQoJk4ewedYgFfgSA2axx3VhRwgj_0rO1tf3yezV0c/edit?usp=sharing
I will continue to update this doc with any changes to the draft blog post.
Thanks,
Randall

Thanks, Jason. We haven't done that for a few releases, but I think it's a
great idea. I've updated the blog post draft and the Google doc to mention
the 127 contributors by name that will also be mentioned in the email
release announcement.
I also linked to the project's downloads page in the opening sentence, and
tweaked the wording slightly in the first paragraph.
Best regards,
Randall

Re: Preliminary blog post about the Apache 2.6.0 release
Posted by Randall Hauch <rh...@apache.org>.
Hi, Maulin.
We have traditionally not mentioned *every* KIP in the project's blog posts
-- unless a release just happens to involve a small number of KIPs. This
means that we do have to choose a subset of the KIPs -- AK 2.6.0 had 30
KIPs that were implemented, and a blog summarizing each would be too long
and much less widely received. I tried to choose KIPs that clearly impacted
the broadest set of users, and finding a subset wasn't that easy.
I chose not to include KIP-519 in the blog simply because it requires
installing and integration into the broker components that are not included
in the official distribution. I hope that helps explain my thought process.
Best regards,
Randall

Re: Preliminary blog post about the Apache 2.6.0 release

Hi, Maulin.
We have traditionally not mentioned *every* KIP in the project's blog posts
-- unless a release just happens to involve a small number of KIPs. This
means that we do have to choose a subset of the KIPs -- AK 2.6.0 had 30
KIPs that were implemented, and a blog summarizing each would be too long
and much less widely received. I tried to choose KIPs that clearly impacted
the broadest set of users, and finding a subset wasn't that easy.
I chose not to include KIP-519 in the blog simply because it requires
installing and integration into the broker components that are not included
in the official distribution. I hope that helps explain my thought process.

Randall

Hi Randall
One question: Do we mention all KIPs/NewFeatures in the blog that are
listed in the release notes document -
https://home.apache.org/~rhauch/kafka-2.6.0-rc2/RELEASE_NOTES.html ?
I see that [KAFKA-8890 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8890>]
- KIP-519: Make SSL context/engine configuration extensible is missing from
the google doc that you shared.

I also linked to the project's downloads page in the opening sentence, and

Re: Preliminary blog post about the Apache 2.6.0 release
Posted by Jason Gustafson <ja...@confluent.io>.
Hey Randall,
Thanks for putting this together. I think it would be great if the blog
included the names of the release contributors. It's an easy way to give
some recognition. I know we have done that in the past.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Preliminary blog post about the Apache 2.6.0 release
Posted by Randall Hauch <rh...@apache.org>.
The last blog post for 2.5.0 mentioned KIP-500, and I know we've made a lot
of progress on that and will have even more in upcoming releases. I'd like
to add the following paragraph to the opening section, just after the
paragraph mentioning JDK 14 and Scala 2.13:
"Finally, these accomplishments are only one part of a larger active
roadmap in the run up to Apache Kafka 3.0, which may be one of the most
significant releases in the project’s history. The work to replace
Zookeeper (link to KIP-500) with built-in RAFT-based consensus is well
underway with eight KIPs in active development. Kafka’s new RAFT protocol
for the metadata quorum is already available for review (link to
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9130). Tiered Storage unlocks infinite
scaling and faster rebalance times via KIP-405 (link to KIP-405), and is up
and running in internal clusters at Uber."
I'ved incorporated this into the preview doc, but feedback is welcome.
Best regards,
Randall
