Kafka

Kafka requires Java. Depending of the installed release, different versions are recommended and supported. The minimum supported version is still Java 8. However it has been deprecated in Apache Kafka 3.0.0 and Confluent Platform 7.0.0. Java 8 will be removed in Confluent Platform 8.

• Starting from Apache Kafka 3.1.0 and Confluent 7.1.0 Java 17 is the recommended version.
• Starting from Apache Kafka 2.1.0 and Confluent 5.1.0 Java 11 is the recommended version.
• Starting from Apache Kafka 1.0.0 and Confluent 4.0.0 Java 9 is the recommended version.
