Re: FW: Kafka new version info with vulnerabilities fixes

Hi Vivek, Apache Kafka 4.3.1 is already released and won't get changed after the fact. Our binaries are immutable. What I can tell you is that both branches, 4.2 and 4.3 contain the updated dependencies, so subsequent releases in these both version families will include it. At the time of writing this, there is no planned date yet for 4.3.2 or 4.2.2, sorry.

topic offset increases at restart of cluster

Hi I have run into a strange behaviour. I have a topic that has retention.ms and segment.ms set to one week. Hasn't been any traffic there for a long time, more than a week. So the logfile was empty. Name och the old logfile was 00000000000000069531.log. We have a job that checks the offset and fetches latest records if there are any, latest record fetched had offset 69530. So that indicates that no records had actually been added to the partition. Shortly after the restart, due to a operator upgrade, of the cluster the file got swiped and a new one created. [LocalLog partition=o01.qdpo01.qto01hah-1, dir=/var/lib/kafka/data/kafka-log1/o01.qdpo01.qto01hah-1] Rolled new log segment at offset 69532 in 1 ms. And also: [UnifiedLog partition=o01.qdpo01.qto01hah-1, dir=/var/lib/kafka/data/kafka-log1] Deleting segment LogSegment(baseOffset=69531, size=3819, lastModifiedTime=1783335231543, largestRecordTimestamp=0) due to log retention time 604800000ms breach based on the lar...

Re: Share consumer in Kafka 4.1.0

hi Soby Did you set the internal config group.share.enable=true? That is another switch that allows us to test the share protocol quickly.
