[Jun Rao <ju...@confluent.io>]

The Apache Kafka community is pleased to announce the release for Apache
Kafka 0.9.0.1.

Apache Kafka is high-throughput, publish-subscribe messaging system
rethought of as a distributed commit log.

** Fast => A single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads
and
writes per second from thousands of clients.

** Scalable => Kafka is designed to allow a single cluster to serve as the
central data backbone
for a large organization. It can be elastically and transparently expanded
without downtime.
Data streams are partitioned and spread over a cluster of machines to allow
data streams
larger than the capability of any single machine and to allow clusters of
co-ordinated consumers.

** Durable => Messages are persisted on disk and replicated within the
cluster to prevent
data loss. Each broker can handle terabytes of messages without performance
impact.

** Distributed by Design => Kafka has a modern cluster-centric design that
offers
strong durability and fault-tolerance guarantees.
