Cloudera Distribution of Apache Kafka Version and Packaging Information

Cloudera packages are designed to be transparent and easy to understand. Cloudera Distribution of Apache Kafka package versions are labeled using the following format:

base_version+cloudera_version+patch_level

where:

• base_version is the version of the open-source component included in the Cloudera package.
• cloudera_version is the version of the Cloudera package.
• patch_level is the number of source commits applied on top of the base version forked from the Apache Kafka branch. Note that the number of commits does not indicate the number of functional changes or bug fixes in the release. For example, a commit can be used to amend a version number or make other non-functional changes.
