* **Admin**
* The `listConsumerGroups()` and
`listConsumerGroups(ListConsumerGroupsOptions)` methods in `Admin` are
deprecated, and will be removed in the next major version. Use
`Admin.listGroups(ListGroupsOptions.forConsumerGroups())` instead.
* **Kafka Streams**
- * The `window.size.ms` and `window.inner.serde.class` in `StreamsConfig`
are deprecated. Use the corresponding string constants defined in
`TimeWindowedSerializer`, `TimeWindowedDeserializer`,
`SessionWindowedSerializer` and `SessionWindowedDeserializer` instead.
+ * Early Access for the Streams rebalance protocol. Following KIP-848,
[KIP-1071](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1071%3A+Streams+Rebalance+Protocol)
adds broker side task assignment for Kafka Streams applications.
+ This feature is in Early Access, disabled by default, and not for
production use-cases.
+ We encourage users to try out the new "streams" group feature in lower
environments using "throw away" broker cluster,
+ and provide early feedback.
