Hi John, +1 (binding) from me.
I performed the following: 1. Built the project from the source code tar file, kafka-2.8.0-src.tgz 2. Ran all of the junit tests locally via "./gradlew test -PignoreFailures=true". I had one failure in SocketServerTest#testIdleConnection, which I was not able to reproduce when I re-ran the test 3. Started a KRaft cluster by following the instructions in config/kraft/README.md. Verified producing and consuming. 4. Ran kafka-metadata-shell.sh, also as described in config/kraft/README.md, to look at the topics and broker metadata that had been created. cheers, Colin On Fri, Apr 16, 2021, at 17:08, Randall Hauch wrote: > Hey, John. > > +1 (binding) > > I've performed the following: > 1.
