Spring for Apache Kafka 1.0 and Spring Integration Kafka 2.0 Go GA

I’m pleased to announce that the spring-kafka (Spring for Apache Kafka) 1.0 GA and Spring Integration Kafka 2.0 GA are available finally!

The artifacts org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka:1.0.0.RELEASE and org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka-test:1.0.0.RELEASE are available in the Release repository and Maven Central, respectively.

In addition, the org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-kafka:2.0.0.RELEASE, fully based on the spring-kafka-1.0.0.RELEASE, is available at the same repositories as well.

Of course, many thanks to everyone involved, to active community members, who provided feature requests and contributions.

• rework for Manual AckMode, which indicate as a breaking change though, because the MANUAL_IMMEDIATE_SYNC mode has been removed;
• the ackTime has now 5 seconds as default value. The same as Kafka default auto.commit.interval.ms;
• the ackCount must be > 0 in case of COUNT and COUNT_TIME mode;
• a new Spring Integration Kafka support chapter in the Reference Manual.

See also the Reference Manual for more information.

Next Steps

We expect to release the Milestone 1 for version 1.1 enough soon, which will support Kafka 0.10, include some Spring Boot auto configuration and actuator endpoint and much more!
