I am pleased to announce that Spring Batch 4.2.0.M2 is available now from our milestone repository.

What’s new?

This release adds a new item reader and a new item writer for Apache Kafka:

• KafkaItemReader can read messages from a single partition or multiple partitions of the same topic. This reader stores message offsets in the ExecutionContext to support restart.
• KafkaItemWriter uses a KafkaTemplate from the Spring for Apache Kafka project to send messages to a given topic.

I would like to thank Mathieu Ouellet for his amazing contribution in adding support for Apache Kafka in Spring Batch!
