1.4.7 (Sep 30, 2019)¶
This is a minor release focused on KafkaConsumer performance, Admin Client improvements, and Client concurrency. The KafkaConsumer iterator implementation has been greatly simplified so that it just wraps consumer.poll(). The prior implementation will remain available for a few more releases using the optional KafkaConsumer config: legacy_iterator=True . This is expected to improve consumer throughput substantially and help reduce heartbeat failures / group rebalancing.

Rely on socket selector to detect completed connection attempts (dpkp / PR #1909)

KafkaConsumer¶

Use dedicated connection for group coordinator (dpkp / PR #1822)
Change coordinator lock acquisition order (dpkp / PR #1821)
Make partitions_for_topic a read-through cache (Baisang / PR #1781,#1809)
Fix consumer hanging indefinitely on topic deletion while rebalancing (commanderdishwasher / PR #1782)
Miscellaneous Bugfixes / Improvements¶

1.0.0 (Feb 15, 2016)¶
This release includes significant code changes. 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).
