We are pleased to announce the first Release Candidate for the version 2.1 of the Spring for Apache Kafka:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/milestone' }
}
compile "org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka:2.1.0.RC1"

The general reason for so quick point release is the recently released Apache Kafka 1.0.0 version. There are no critical feature in that release, but some breaking changes in the kafka.admin and kafka.streams have been introduced. Therefore this release represents mostly compatibility with Apache Kafka 1.0.0:

• Deprecate bounce() and waitUntilSynced() in the KafkaEmbedded since respective API in the AdminUtils have been removed

• The KStreamBuilderFactoryBean now uses StreamsBuilder instead of deprecated KStreamBuilder

• The @EmbeddedKafka.brokerProperties() can be configured with the properties placeholders

• The SpEL expressions in the @KafkaListener attributes now can be used simplified since BeanFactory resolver is supplied with the TemplateAwareExpressionParser

• A NonResponsiveConsumerEvent has been introduced to track the sate of the ListenerContainer for possible target Broker unavailability
