Hi, Apache Storm is essentially in maintenance mode. This means that while the project remains functional and stable and releases are made, the addition of new features is largely dependent on community interest and contributions. In other words, major new features — such as native support for Kafka's KRaft mode — would require active involvement and contributions from developers in the community. To clarify the current compatibility landscape: - While Kafka 4.0 has dropped ZooKeeper in favor of KRaft mode, Storm itself still requires ZooKeeper for its internal cluster coordination and operation. This requirement is independent of the Kafka version used. - That said, you can still use the Kafka client libraries with Kafka 4.0 in your Storm topologies, meaning producing and consuming messages via Storm-Kafka integrations should continue to work, assuming the client versions are compatible. - However, Storm itself cannot currently run without ZooKeeper. Replacing ZooKeeper with a KRaft-based alternative within Storm would involve (most likely) architectural changes and, as mentioned, would require community interest and contributions to implement. If so, we would need to ensure, that the current ZooKeeper is kept (at least for 2.x) and Storm can work in both modes. Removing ZooKeeper would only be possible in a 3.x version. That being said, contributions are always welcome, and community-driven development is the primary way forward for feature evolution in Storm at this point. If this is a critical need for your organization, you might consider opening a discussion on the Storm developer mailing list to get community interest.
