Difference between Kafka 0.9.0.2(hortonworks) and 0.9.0.1 (apache latest)

[#1]

Hi all,

I was interested on what is the difference between Kafka 0.9.0.2 provided by hortonworks with the latest ambari and 0.9.0.1 which is the latest version you can get from Apache Kafka's website.

Thanks!

Per the release notes, HDP 2.4.2 includes Kafka 0.9.0.1. I see that the packages are named something like kafka_2_4_2_0_258-0.9.0.2.4.2.0-258.el6.noarch, however, you'll notice that all of the 2.4.2 packages end with 2.4.2.0-258 (the final version of 2.4.2). The Kafka version is actually 0.9.0.1 in the packages.

Your kafka version is actually 0.9.0 only.

On my cluster, our kafka version is 0.9.0.2.3.

It's Kafka 0.9.0 + HDP 2.3
