Is Zookeeper use deprecated in Kafka last versions?


For long time, Kafka is trying to get rid of Zookeeper. Is Zookeeper use deprecated for Kafka last versions? Or it is still required for a Kafka cluster?


Solution

  • KIP 500 is for removing Zookeeper dependency. Currently the newest version of Kafka has not removed it. You can view the list of KIP and the version of Kafka that implements them here. No Kafka version is specified for KIP 500.
