We are thrilled to announce that Aiven for Apache Kafka now supports Apache Kafka version 3.7.0. This latest version brings a host of new features and improvements:
- Allows creating connectors in the STOPPED state for Apache Kafka® Connect (KAFKA-15470): Newly created connectors are no longer in the
RUNNING state by default. - Introduces cluster-wide dynamic log adjustments for Apache Kafka® Connect (KAFKA-15428): Now, with a single REST API request you can modify the logging level for the worker that receives the request or the logging level for all workers in the cluster.
- Implements client exponential backoff (KAFKA-9800) - the maximum amount of time in milliseconds to wait when retrying a request to the broker that has repeatedly failed. If provided, the backoff per client increases exponentially up to this maximum for each failed request.
