Announcing: Cloudera Distribution of Apache Kafka 1.3.1 for CDH 5

[#1]

Dear CDH Users,

We are pleased to announce the release of Cloudera Distribution of Apache Kafka 1.3.1 for CDH 5.  Apache Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system.  This is a maintenance release that fixes key issues, including:

• KAFKA-972 - MetadataRequest returns stale list of brokers

• KAFKA-1367 - Broker topic metadata not kept in sync with ZooKeeper

• KAFKA-1867 - liveBroker list not updated on a cluster with no topics

• KAFKA-2308 - New producer + Snappy face un-compression errors after broker restart

• KAFKA-2317 - De-register isrChangeNotificationListener on controller resignation

• KAFKA-2337 - Verify that metric names will not collide when creating new topics

We look forward to you trying it out, using the information below:

• Install or upgrade Kafka

• Review the Documentation

• Review the Release Notes

As always, we welcome your feedback. Please send your comments and suggestions through our community forums. You can also file bugs through our external JIRA projects on issues.cloudera.org.
