Hi Michael, KIP-653 seeks to update the log4jv1 dependency to log4jv2. Following a discussion a month or so ago [1] I think the plan is to do this in Kafka 4.0. The discussion for KIP-833 [2] suggests we'll see Kafka 3.5 followed by Kafka 4.0, which should be around August 2023 (assuming we stick to the usual time-based releases).
If you're asking for log4shell reasons, Kafka 3.2.0 and 3.1.1 use reload4j instead of the original log4jv1 implementation. Hopefully this answers your question. Kind regards, Tom [1]: https://lists.apache.org/thread/qo1y3249xldt4cpg6r8zkcq5m1q32bf1 [2]: https://lists.apache.org/thread/90zkqvmmw3y8j6tkgbg3md78m7hs4yn6 On Thu, 2 Jun 2022 at 18:03, Cleveland, Michael < michael.clevel...@breadfinancial.com> wrote: > Good morning, > > I was wondering if there was a timeline when the version of Log4j will be > updated when using Kafka? > > Thank you, > Michael Cleveland > > ______________________________________________________________________ > The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments may > be privileged and confidential.
