What's New in HDF 3.2.0

HDF 3.2.0 is a minor release that includes the following new features and bug fixes. In addition to the updates listed below, HDF 3.2.0 also includes Knox 1.0.0 in the public repository.

Apache Kafka Updates

Kafka has been upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 with some critical bug fixes including:

  • KAFKA-6172 - Cache lastEntry in TimeIndex to avoid unnecessary disk access

  • KAFKA-6175 - AbstractIndex should cache index file to avoid unnecessary disk access during resize()

  • KAFKA-6258 - SSLTransportLayer should keep reading from socket until either the buffer is full or the socket has no more data

In addition to these bug fixes, an important new feature was added to capture producer and topic partition level metrics without instrumenting or configuring interceptors on the clients.

This provides an non-invasive approach to capture important metrics for producers without refactoring/modifying your existing Kafka clients.
