Supported Kafka versions
Kafka version strings supported by Cloudera Streams Messaging Operator for Kubernetes for use in Kafka and KafkaConnect resources, and the associated Kafka metadata versions.
Kafka versions shipped in Cloudera Streams Messaging Operator for Kubernetes are specific to Cloudera. You
specify them in the spec.version property of cluster resources like
Kafka and KafkaConnect resources. When deploying a
cluster, you must use the versions listed here. Specifying upstream Apache Kafka versions is not
supported.
| Version | Component/Resource | Metadata version |
|---|---|---|
| 4.2.0-csmop-1.7 (latest and default) |
|
4.2-IV1 |
| 4.1.1.1.6 |
|
4.1-IV1 |
The latest version is the current and latest supported version. This version is used by default to deploy clusters if an explicit version is not provided in your resource configuration. This version is also the version recommended by Cloudera. All other versions listed here are Kafka versions shipped in previous releases of Cloudera Streams Messaging Operator for Kubernetes that are also supported.
The Kafka metadata version is relevant for upgrades. Depending on your specific upgrade path, explicitly specifying the metadata version might be necessary during an upgrade.
