confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v2.5.3, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

v2.5.0

Warning

This version has introduced a regression in which an assert is triggered during PushTelemetry call. This happens when no metric is matched on the client side among those requested by broker subscription.

You won't face any problem if:

  • Broker doesn't support KIP-714.
  • KIP-714 feature is disabled on the broker side.
  • KIP-714 feature is disabled on the client side. This is enabled by default. Set configuration enable.metrics.push to false.
  • If KIP-714 is enabled on the broker side and there is no subscription configured there.
  • If KIP-714 is enabled on the broker side with subscriptions that match the KIP-714 metrics defined on the client.

Having said this, we strongly recommend using v2.5.3 and above to not face this regression at all.

v2.5.0 is a feature release with the following features, fixes and enhancements:

  • KIP-107 Added delete_records API. (#1710)
  • Added an example to show the usage of the custom logger with AdminClient. (#1758)
  • Improve caching on Schema Registry client. (#1744)
  • Removed usage of strcpy to enhance security of the client. (#1745)
  • Removed support for centos6 and centos7. (#1776)
  • Fixed invalid write in OAUTHBEARER/OIDC extensions copy. (#1745)
  • Fixed documentation for default value of operation_timeout and request_timeout in various Admin apis. (#1710)
  • Fixed an issue related to import error of TopicCollection and TopicPartitionInfo classes when importing through other module like mypy. (#1764)
  • Fixed a segfault when commit or store_offsets consumer method is called incorrectly with errored Message object. (#1754)
  • Fixed logger not working when provided as an argument to AdminClient instead of a configuration property. (#1758)
  • Fixed some memory leaks related to PyDict_SetItem. (#1710)

Upgrade considerations

OpenSSL 3.0.x upgrade in librdkafka requires a major version bump, as some legacy ciphers need to be explicitly configured to continue working, but it is highly recommended NOT to use them. The rest of the API remains backward compatible.

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka 2.0.2, see the librdkafka v2.0.0 release notes and later ones for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

Note: There were no v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 releases.

v1.9.2

v1.9.2 is a maintenance release with the following fixes and enhancements:

  • Support for setting principal and SASL extensions in oauth_cb and handle failures (@Manicben, #1402)
  • Wheel for macOS M1/arm64
  • KIP-140 Admin API ACL fix: When requesting multiple create_acls or delete_acls operations, if the provided ACL bindings or ACL binding filters are not unique, an exception will be thrown immediately rather than later when the responses are read. (#1370).
  • KIP-140 Admin API ACL fix: Better documentation of the describe and delete ACLs behavior when using the MATCH resource patter type in a filter. (#1373).
  • Avro serialization examples: added a parameter for using a generic or specific Avro schema. (#1381).

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.9.2, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

v1.9.1

There was no 1.9.1 release of the Python Client.

v1.9.0

This is a feature release:

  • OAUTHBEARER OIDC support
  • KIP-140 Admin API ACL support

Fixes

  • The warnings for use.deprecated.format (introduced in v1.8.2) had its logic reversed, which result in warning logs to be emitted when the property was correctly configured, and the log message itself also contained text that had it backwards. The warning is now only emitted when use.deprecated.format is set to the old legacy encoding (True). #1265
  • Use str(Schema) rather than Schema.to_json to prevent fastavro from raising exception TypeError: unhashable type: 'mappingproxy'. (@ffissore, #1156, #1197)
  • Fix the argument order in the constructor signature for AvroDeserializer/Serializer: the argument order in the constructor signature for AvroDeserializer/Serializer was altered in v1.6.1, but the example is not changed yet. (@DLT1412, #1263)
  • Fix the json deserialization errors from _schema_loads for valid primitive declarations. (@dylrich, #989)

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.9.0, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

v1.8.2

v1.8.2 is a maintenance release with the following fixes and enhancements:

  • IMPORTANT: Added mandatory use.deprecated.format to ProtobufSerializer and ProtobufDeserializer. See Upgrade considerations below for more information.
  • Python 2.7 binary wheels are no longer provided. Users still on Python 2.7 will need to build confluent-kafka from source and install librdkafka separately, see README.md for build instructions.
  • Added use.latest.version and skip.known.types (Protobuf) to the Serializer classes. (Robert Yokota, #1133).
  • list_topics() and list_groups() added to AdminClient.
  • Added support for headers in the SerializationContext (Laurent Domenech-Cabaud)
  • Fix crash in header parsing (Armin Ronacher, #1165)
  • Added long package description in setuptools (Bowrna, #1172).
  • Documentation fixes by Aviram Hassan and Ryan Slominski.
  • Don't raise AttributeError exception when CachedSchemaRegistryClient constructor raises a valid exception.

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.8.2, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

Note: There were no v1.8.0 and v1.8.1 releases.

Upgrade considerations

Protobuf serialization format changes

Prior to this version the confluent-kafka-python client had a bug where nested protobuf schemas indexes were incorrectly serialized, causing incompatibility with other Schema-Registry protobuf consumers and producers.

This has now been fixed, but since the old defect serialization and the new correct serialization are mutually incompatible the user of confluent-kafka-python will need to make an explicit choice which serialization format to use during a transitory phase while old producers and consumers are upgraded.

The ProtobufSerializer and ProtobufDeserializer constructors now both take a (for the time being) configuration dictionary that requires the use.deprecated.format configuration property to be explicitly set.

Producers should be upgraded first and as long as there are old (<=v1.7.0) Python consumers reading from topics being produced to, the new (>=v1.8.2) Python producer must be configured with use.deprecated.format set to True.

When all existing messages in the topic have been consumed by older consumers the consumers should be upgraded and both new producers and the new consumers must set use.deprecated.format to False.

The requirement to explicitly set use.deprecated.format will be removed in a future version and the setting will then default to False (new format).

v1.7.0

v1.7.0 is a maintenance release with the following fixes and enhancements:

  • Add error_cb to confluent_cloud.py example (#1096).
  • Clarify that doc output varies based on method (@slominskir, #1098).
  • Docs say Schema when they mean SchemaReference (@slominskir, #1092).
  • Add documentation for NewTopic and NewPartitions (#1101).

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.7.0, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

v1.6.1

v1.6.1 is a feature release:

  • KIP-429 - Incremental consumer rebalancing support.
  • OAUTHBEARER support.

Fixes

  • Add return_record_name=True to AvroDeserializer (@slominskir, #1028)
  • Fix deprecated schema.Parse call (@casperlehmann, #1006).
  • Make reader schema optional in AvroDeserializer (@97nitt, #1000).
  • Add **kwargs to legacy AvroProducer and AvroConsumer constructors to support all Consumer and Producer base class constructor arguments, such as logger (@venthur, #699).
  • Add bool for permanent schema delete (@slominskir, #1029).
  • The avro package is no longer required for Schema-Registry support (@jaysonsantos, #950).
  • Only write to schema cache once, improving performance (@fimmtiu, #724).
  • Improve Schema-Registry error reporting (@jacopofar, #673).
  • producer.flush() could return a non-zero value without hitting the specified timeout.

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.6.1, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

v1.6.0

v1.6.0 is a feature release with the following features, fixes and enhancements:

  • Bundles librdkafka v1.6.0 which adds support for Incremental rebalancing, Sticky producer partitioning, Transactional producer scalabilty improvements, and much much more. See link to release notes below.
  • Rename asyncio.py example to avoid circular import (#945)
  • The Linux wheels are now built with manylinux2010 (rather than manylinux1) since OpenSSL v1.1.1 no longer builds on CentOS 5. Older Linux distros may thus no longer be supported, such as CentOS 5.
  • The in-wheel OpenSSL version has been updated to 1.1.1i.
  • Added Message.latency() to retrieve the per-message produce latency.
  • Added trove classifiers.
  • Consumer destructor will no longer trigger consumer_close(), consumer.close() must now be explicitly called if the application wants to leave the consumer group properly and commit final offsets.
  • Fix PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN warning
  • Move confluent_kafka/ to src/ to avoid pytest/tox picking up the local dir
  • Added producer.purge() to purge messages in-queue/flight (@peteryin21, #548)
  • Added AdminClient.list_groups() API (@messense, #948)
  • Rename asyncio.py example to avoid circular import (#945)

  • Rename asyncio.py example to avoid circular import (#945)
  • Upgrade bundled OpenSSL to v1.1.1h (from v1.0.2u)
