Kafka

Hi Andrew, We have done verification on the Strimzi side. Everything seems good. Moreover I have checked our test-container tests and those also look good. So +1 for the release (non-binding) Cheers, Maros

Hi everyone, I recently observed some behavior in a KRaft-based Kafka cluster (v3.7.2) that I was hoping to get some technical clarification on. My Setup: - *Architecture:* 3 Controllers / 3 Brokers (KRaft mode). - *Version:* 3.7.2. The Scenario: 1. I brought down *2 out of 3 controllers*, effectively breaking the KRaft quorum. As expected, describe topics and metadata quorum commands failed. 2. While the quorum was down, I brought down *1 Broker*. 3. *Producer Behavior:* Remained fully functional. It automatically redirected messages to the remaining nodes for the affected partition leaders without issue. 4. *Consumer Behavior:* The consumer initially stopped when the broker went down, but upon restarting the consumer, it resumed processing perfectly fine. I also waited for 5 mins for any caches to clear, it was able to consume after restart. Though this wasn't the case across all tests...

Thank you for your confirmation. I would like to request version 3.9.0. This is because Pega Platform only supports up to version 3.9.0. I just checked and I was able to download it.

Do you need 3.9.0 exactly or would 3.9.2 work? All the latest releases: https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/ Kafka 3.9.2 https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/3.9.2/ It should be binary-compatible with 3.9.0 after some patch fixes.

We recently archived some release, and actually also updated the web-page. At least we intended to update the download page... You are right, the web-page does not reflect the updated links atm. We will look into this and fix it asap. For now, you can find the correct links on this PR: https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/commit/93535e03d8576a58e3035aba44d35bbdaf76eff7 Thanks for letting us know about this issue. -Matthias On 3/2/26 8:35 AM, Hitoshi Kageyama (Fujitsu) via users wrote: > I am trying to download Kafka 3.9.0 from the following site, but I am getting a "Not Found" error: > > https://kafka.apache.org/community/downloads/ > > I specifically need to download the "Binary downloads" module.
