Re: ARM support for Kafka

Hi Kafka
The email about whether Kafka supports arm ci has been send for a while
and no objections were raised. Can we just keep moving forward ? @junrao
<http://twitter.com/junrao> @ijuma <https://twitter.com/ijuma> , The PR I
have submitted [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9872]. I don't have
permission to configure it to work. Can you help me?

Thanks
Lei Peng
