Users of older kafka-python versions are encouraged to test upgrades before deploying to production as some interfaces and configuration options have changed. Users of SimpleConsumer / SimpleProducer / SimpleClient (formerly KafkaClient) from prior releases should migrate to KafkaConsumer / KafkaProducer. Low-level APIs (Simple*) are no longer being actively maintained and will be removed in a future release. For comprehensive API documentation, please see python help() / docstrings, kafka-python.readthedocs.org, or run `tox -e docs` from source to build documentation locally. Consumers * KafkaConsumer re-written to emulate the new 0.9 kafka consumer (java client) and support coordinated consumer groups (feature requires >= 0.9.0.0 brokers) * Methods no longer available: * configure [initialize a new consumer instead] * set_topic_partitions [use subscribe() or assign()] * fetch_messages [use poll() or iterator interface] * get_partition_offsets * offsets [use committed(partition)] * task_done [handled internally by auto-commit; or commit offsets manually] * Configuration changes (consistent with updated java client): * lots of new configuration parameters -- see docs for details * auto_offset_reset: previously values were 'smallest' or 'largest', now values are 'earliest' or 'latest' * fetch_wait_max_ms is now fetch_max_wait_ms * max_partition_fetch_bytes is now max_partition_fetch_bytes * deserializer_class is now value_deserializer and key_deserializer * auto_commit_enable is now enable_auto_commit * auto_commit_interval_messages was removed * socket_timeout_ms was removed * refresh_leader_backoff_ms was removed * SimpleConsumer and MultiProcessConsumer are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to migrate to KafkaConsumer. Producers * new producer class: KafkaProducer. Exposes the same interface as official java client. Async by default; returned future.get() can be called for synchronous blocking * SimpleProducer is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to migrate to KafkaProducer. Clients * synchronous KafkaClient renamed to SimpleClient. For backwards compatibility, you will get a SimpleClient via `from kafka import KafkaClient`. This will change in a future release. * All client calls use non-blocking IO under the hood. * Add probe method check_version() to infer broker versions. Documentation * Updated README and sphinx documentation to address new classes. * Docstring improvements to make python help() easier to use. Internals * Old protocol stack is deprecated. It has been moved to kafka.protocol.legacy and may be removed in a future release. * Protocol layer re-written using Type classes, Schemas and Structs (modeled on the java client). * Add support for LZ4 compression (including broken framing header checksum). # 0.9.5 (Dec 6, 2015) Consumers * Initial support for consumer coordinator: offsets only (toddpalino PR 420) * Allow blocking until some messages are received in SimpleConsumer (saaros PR 457) * Support subclass config changes in KafkaConsumer (zackdever PR 446) * Support retry semantics in MultiProcessConsumer (barricadeio PR 456) * Support partition_info in MultiProcessConsumer (scrapinghub PR 418) * Enable seek() to an absolute offset in SimpleConsumer (haosdent PR 412) * Add KafkaConsumer.close() (ucarion PR 426) Producers * Catch client.reinit() exceptions in async producer (dpkp) * Producer.stop() now blocks until async thread completes (dpkp PR 485) * Catch errors during load_metadata_for_topics in async producer (bschopman PR 467) * Add compression-level support for codecs that support it (trbs PR 454) * Fix translation of Java murmur2 code, fix byte encoding for Python 3 (chrischamberlin PR 439) * Only call stop() on not-stopped producer objects (docker-hub PR 435) * Allow null payload for deletion feature (scrapinghub PR 409) Clients * Use non-blocking io for broker aware requests (ecanzonieri PR 473) * Use debug logging level for metadata request (ecanzonieri PR 415) * Catch KafkaUnavailableError in _send_broker_aware_request (mutability PR 436) * Lower logging level on replica not available and commit (ecanzonieri PR 415) Documentation * Update docs and links wrt maintainer change (mumrah -> dpkp) Internals * Add py35 to tox testing * Update travis config to use container infrastructure * Add 0.8.2.2 and 0.9.0.0 resources for integration tests; update default official releases * new pylint disables for pylint 1.5.1 (zackdever PR 481) * Fix python3 / python2 comments re queue/Queue (dpkp) * Add Murmur2Partitioner to kafka __all__ imports (dpkp Issue 471) * Include LICENSE in PyPI sdist (koobs PR 441) # 0.9.4 (June 11, 2015) Consumers * Refactor SimpleConsumer internal fetch handling (dpkp PR 399) * Handle exceptions in SimpleConsumer commit() and reset_partition_offset() (dpkp PR 404) * Improve FailedPayloadsError handling in KafkaConsumer (dpkp PR 398) * KafkaConsumer: avoid raising KeyError in task_done (dpkp PR 389) * MultiProcessConsumer -- support configured partitions list (dpkp PR 380) * Fix SimpleConsumer leadership change handling (dpkp PR 393) * Fix SimpleConsumer connection error handling (reAsOn2010 PR 392) * Improve Consumer handling of 'falsy' partition values (wting PR 342) * Fix _offsets call error in KafkaConsumer (hellais PR 376) * Fix str/bytes bug in KafkaConsumer (dpkp PR 365) * Register atexit handlers for consumer and producer thread/multiprocess cleanup (dpkp PR 360) * Always fetch commit offsets in base consumer unless group is None (dpkp PR 356) * Stop consumer threads on delete (dpkp PR 357) * Deprecate metadata_broker_list in favor of bootstrap_servers in KafkaConsumer (dpkp PR 340) * Support pass-through parameters in multiprocess consumer (scrapinghub PR 336) * Enable offset commit on SimpleConsumer.seek (ecanzonieri PR 350) * Improve multiprocess consumer partition distribution (scrapinghub PR 335) * Ignore messages with offset less than requested (wkiser PR 328) * Handle OffsetOutOfRange in SimpleConsumer (ecanzonieri PR 296) Producers * Add Murmur2Partitioner (dpkp PR 378) * Log error types in SimpleProducer and SimpleConsumer (dpkp PR 405) * SimpleProducer support configuration of fail_on_error (dpkp PR 396) * Deprecate KeyedProducer.send() (dpkp PR 379) * Further improvements to async producer code (dpkp PR 388) * Add more configuration parameters for async producer (dpkp) * Deprecate SimpleProducer batch_send=True in favor of async (dpkp) * Improve async producer error handling and retry logic (vshlapakov PR 331) * Support message keys in async producer (vshlapakov PR 329) * Use threading instead of multiprocessing for Async Producer (vshlapakov PR 330) * Stop threads on __del__ (chmduquesne PR 324) * Fix leadership failover handling in KeyedProducer (dpkp PR 314) KafkaClient * Add .topics property for list of known topics (dpkp) * Fix request / response order guarantee bug in KafkaClient (dpkp PR 403) * Improve KafkaClient handling of connection failures in _get_conn (dpkp) * Client clears local metadata cache before updating from server (dpkp PR 367) * KafkaClient should return a response or error for each request -
