Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Hey folks,


I'd like to volunteer to be the release manager for a bug fix release of
the 3.6 line. This will be the first bug fix release of this line and will
be version 3.6.1. It would contain critical bug fixes for  features such as
Transaction verification [1], will stabilize Tiered Storage early access
release [2] [3] and upgrade dependencies to fix CVEs such as Netty [4] and
Zookeeper [5].

If no one has any objections, I will send out a release plan latest by 23rd
Dec 2023 with a tentative release in mid-Jan 2024. The release plan will
include a list of all of the fixes we are targeting for 3.6.1 along with
the detailed timeline.

If anyone is interested in releasing this sooner, please feel free to take
over from me.

Thanks!

Regards,
Divij Vaidya

Sounds good. Let's see if someone else volunteers for an earlier 3.6.1.
I'll ping some people at Confluent to check if anyone has time.

I agree that we should not block 3.6.1 if it's not a regression.

Re: Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Posted by Mickael Maison <mi...@gmail.com>.
Hi Kirk,

It's pretty late, I was hoping to build RC0 tomorrow morning (EU
time). This does not seem like it's a regression or a major bug so I
don't consider it a blocker.
If you can get it merged and backported to 3.6 overnight, fine, but I
don't think we need to wait for it.

Thanks,
Mickael

Re: Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Posted by Kirk True <ki...@kirktrue.pro>.
Hi Mickael,

Is there still time to put in another fix? I'd like to propose we include https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15817.

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi,

Quick update on 3.6.1:
We have 1 blocker issue left: KAFKA-15802. Once it's fixed I'll start
building the first release candidate.

Hi,

Ok, I've put together a release plan:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+plan+3.6.1

I'll start chasing the owners of the few open issues. If there's any
other issues you'd like to have in 3.6.1, please let me know.

Thanks,

Re: Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Posted by Divij Vaidya <di...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for volunteering Mickael. Please feel free to take over this thread.

From a Tiered Storage perspective, there is a long list of known bugs in
3.6.0 [1] but we shouldn't wait on fixing them all for 3.6.1. This should
be ok since this feature is in early access. We will do a best-effort to
merge some of the critical ones by next week. I will nudge the contributors
where things are pending for a while.

Re: Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Hi Divij,

You beat me to it, I was about to propose doing a 3.6.1 release later this week.
While there's only a dozen or so issues fixed since 3.6.0, as
mentioned there's a few important dependency upgrades that would be
good to release.

I'm happy to volunteer to run the release if we agree to releasing
sooner than initially proposed.
There seems to only be a few unresolved Jiras targeting 3.6.1 [0] (all
have PRs with some of them even already merged!).

0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15552?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%203.6.1%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20status%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC

Thanks,
Mickael

Re: Apache Kafka 3.6.1 release

Posted by Divij Vaidya <di...@gmail.com>.
Hi Ismael, I am all-in favour for frequent releases. Sooner is always
better. Unfortunately, I won't have bandwidth to volunteer for a release in
December. If someone else volunteers to be RM prior to this timeline, I
would be happy to ceed the RM role to them but in the worst case scenario,
my offer to volunteer for Jan release could be considered as a backup.

Hi Divij,

I think we should be releasing 3.6.1 this year rather than next. There are
some critical bugs in 3.6.0 and I don't think we should be waiting that
long to fix them. What do you think?
