We are pleased to announce that Spring Batch 4.0.0.RELEASE is now available through Github, the Pivotal download repository, and Maven Central. This is the generally available release of the 4.0 line. Many thanks to all that contributed to this release.

This release is intended to bring Spring Batch up to date with those changes. When Spring Batch 3 came out, Java configuration was just beginning to take over…

I am pleased to announce the availability of Spring for Apache Kafka 2.1.0.RELEASE.

In addition, maintenance releases 1.3.2.RELEASE and 2.0.2.RELEASE are available, containing important bug fixes. See also below for information about spring-integration-kafka 3.0.0.RELEASE. It is recommended that all users upgrade.

The main purpose of the 2.1 release is to upgrade the kafka-clients library to 1.0.0, but we have included a few improvements:

• Sometimes, when a message can’t be processed, you may wish to stop the container so the condition can be corrected and the message re-delivered. The framework now provides the ContainerStoppingErrorHandler for record listeners and ContainerStoppingBatchErrorHandler for batch listeners.

• The KafkaAdmin now supports increasing partitions when a NewTopic bean is detected with a larger number of partitions than currently exist on the topic.

• StringJsonMessageConverter and JsonSerializer/JsonDeserializer now pass and consume type information in Headers. This allows multiple types to be easily sent/received on the same topic:

  @SpringBootApplication public class Kafka21Application {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(Kafka21Application.class, args)
          .close();
  }
  
  @Bean
  public ApplicationRunner runner(KafkaTemplate<Object, Object> template) {
      return args -> {
          template.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload(42)
                  .setHeader(KafkaHeaders.TOPIC, "blog")
                  .build());
          template.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload("4…
