Hi Team Kafka, Ewen just added stability annotations to Apache Kafka (KAFKA-2429).
In the same PR, we marked the new Consumer API as "unstable" since we are still actively iterating on them. The goal is to mark them as "evolving" before the next release and after one release to validate them, we will mark them as "stable". When adding new public APIs, we encourage you to think of their stage of development and annotate correctly. The usage is: - unstable - can change at any time - evolving - can break compatibility at minor releases (i.e. 0.9 may be incompatible with 0.8) - stable - will only break compatibility at major releases (1.0, 2.0, etc) Enjoy! Gwen
