Version 1.7.0 (2015-12-11)

New Features:

  • Preliminary support for Kafka 0.9 (#572). This comes with several caveats:
    • Protocol-layer support is mostly in place (#577), however Kafka 0.9 renamed some messages and fields, which we did not in order to preserve API compatibility.
    • The producer and consumer work against 0.9, but the offset manager does not (#573).
    • TLS support may or may not work (#581).

Improvements:

  • Don't wait for request timeouts on dead brokers, greatly speeding recovery when the TCP connection is left hanging (#548).
  • Refactored part of the producer. The new version provides a much more elegant solution to #449. It is also slightly more efficient, and much more precise in calculating batch sizes when compression is used (#549, #550, #551).

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix race condition in consumer test mock (#553).

Version 1.6.1 (2015-09-25)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix panic that could occur if a user-supplied message value failed to encode (#449).

Version 1.6.0 (2015-09-04)

New Features:

  • Implementation of a consumer offset manager using the APIs introduced in Kafka 0.8.2. The API is designed mainly for integration into a future high-level consumer, not for direct use, although it is possible to use it directly. (#461).

Improvements:

  • CRC32 calculation is much faster on machines with SSE4.2 instructions, removing a major hotspot from most profiles (#255).

Bug Fixes:

  • Make protocol decoding more robust against some malformed packets generated by go-fuzz (#523, #525) or found in other ways (#528).
  • Fix a potential race condition panic in the consumer on shutdown (#529).

Version 1.5.0 (2015-08-17)

New Features:

  • TLS-encrypted network connections are now supported. This feature is subject to change when Kafka releases built-in TLS support, but for now this is enough to work with TLS-terminating proxies (#154).

Improvements:

  • The consumer will not block if a single partition is not drained by the user; all other partitions will continue to consume normally (#485).
  • Formatting of error strings has been much improved (#495).
  • Internal refactoring of the producer for code cleanliness and to enable future work (#300).

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix a potential deadlock in the consumer on shutdown (#475).

Version 1.4.3 (2015-07-21)

Bug Fixes:

  • Don't include the partitioner in the producer's "fetch partitions" circuit-breaker (#466).
  • Don't retry messages until the broker is closed when abandoning a broker in the producer (#468).
  • Update the import path for snappy-go, it has moved again and the API has changed slightly (#486).

Version 1.4.2 (2015-05-27)

Bug Fixes:

  • Update the import path for snappy-go, it has moved from google code to github (#456).

Version 1.4.1 (2015-05-25)

Improvements:

  • Optimizations when decoding snappy messages, thanks to John Potocny (#446).

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix hypothetical race conditions on producer shutdown (#450, #451).

Version 1.4.0 (2015-05-01)

New Features:

  • The consumer now implements Topics() and Partitions() methods to enable users to dynamically choose what topics/partitions to consume without instantiating a full client (#431).
  • The partition-consumer now exposes the high water mark offset value returned by the broker via the HighWaterMarkOffset() method (#339).
  • Added a kafka-console-consumer tool capable of handling multiple partitions, and deprecated the now-obsolete kafka-console-partitionConsumer (#439, #442).

Improvements:

  • The producer's logging during retry scenarios is more consistent, more useful, and slightly less verbose (#429).
  • The client now shuffles its initial list of seed brokers in order to prevent thundering herd on the first broker in the list (#441).

Bug Fixes:

  • The producer now correctly manages its state if retries occur when it is shutting down, fixing several instances of confusing behaviour and at least one potential deadlock (#419).
  • The consumer now handles messages for different partitions asynchronously, making it much more resilient to specific user code ordering (#325).

Version 1.3.0 (2015-04-16)

New Features:

  • The client now tracks consumer group coordinators using ConsumerMetadataRequests similar to how it tracks partition leadership using regular MetadataRequests (#411). This adds two methods to the client API:
    • Coordinator(consumerGroup string) (*Broker, error)
    • RefreshCoordinator(consumerGroup string) error

Improvements:

  • ConsumerMetadataResponses now automatically create a Broker object out of the ID/address/port combination for the Coordinator; accessing the fields individually has been deprecated (#413).
  • Much improved handling of OffsetOutOfRange errors in the consumer. Consumers will fail to start if the provided offset is out of range (#418) and they will automatically shut down if the offset falls out of range (#424).
  • Small performance improvement in encoding and decoding protocol messages (#427).

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix a rare race condition in the client's background metadata refresher if it happens to be activated while the client is being closed (#422).

Version 1.2.0 (2015-04-07)

Improvements:

  • The producer's behaviour when Flush.Frequency is set is now more intuitive (#389).
  • The producer is now somewhat more memory-efficient during and after retrying messages due to an improved queue implementation (#396).
  • The consumer produces much more useful logging output when leadership changes (#385).
  • The client's GetOffset method will now automatically refresh metadata and retry once in the event of stale information or similar (#394).
  • Broker connections now have support for using TCP keepalives (#407).

Bug Fixes:

  • The OffsetCommitRequest message now correctly implements all three possible API versions (#390, #400).

Version 1.1.0 (2015-03-20)

Improvements:

  • Wrap the producer's partitioner call in a circuit-breaker so that repeatedly broken topics don't choke throughput (#373).

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix the producer's internal reference counting in certain unusual scenarios (#367).
  • Fix the consumer's internal reference counting in certain unusual scenarios (#369).
  • Fix a condition where the producer's internal control messages could have gotten stuck (#368).
  • Fix an issue where invalid partition lists would be cached when asking for metadata for a non-existant topic (#372).

Version 1.0.0 (2015-03-17)

Version 1.0.0 is the first tagged version, and is almost a complete rewrite. The primary differences with previous untagged versions are:

  • The producer has been rewritten; there is now a SyncProducer with a blocking API, and an AsyncProducer that is non-blocking.
  • The consumer has been rewritten to only open one connection per broker instead of one connection per partition.
  • The main types of Sarama are now interfaces to make depedency injection easy; mock implementations for Consumer, SyncProducer and AsyncProducer are provided in the github.com/Shopify/sarama/mocks package.
  • For most uses cases, it is no longer necessary to open a Client; this will be done for you.
  • All the configuration values have been unified in the Config struct.
  • Much improved test suite.
