Spring for Apache Kafka 2.4 Release Candidate

Releases | Gary Russell | December 18, 2019 | ...

Hot on the heels of the recent Apache Kafka 2.4.0 release, I am pleased to announce the release candidate for Spring for Apache Kafka 2.4 - 2.4.0.RC1 - is available in the Spring milestone repository.

This version is essentially functionally equivalent to 2.3.x, but is compiled against the 2.4.0 kafka-clients and supports the new incremental rebalancing protocol.

The 2.4.0 kafka clients are not binary compatible with Spring for Apache Kafka 2.3 so if you wish to use the 2.4.0 clients, you must upgrade to this version. See the appendix in the reference manual for how to override the jar…

This Week in Spring - December 18th, 2019

Engineering | Josh Long | December 18, 2019 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! This week I am in beautiful Tokyo, Japan, where I just spoke at the always lovely annual Spring Fest event. I loved the show and I hope that they got something out of my performance.

Last week was tough. Possibly the toughest week of my life. I didn't publish an episode of A Bootiful Podcast, as such. You won't see that episode reflected on the blog because it was my heartbroken dedication to my father, who passed away last week at the age of 81. No interview in that brief, less-than-20 minutes episode.

I'm feeling a little better and was glad to come back to the work of…

Flight of the Flux 3 - Hopping Threads and Schedulers

Engineering | Simon Baslé | December 13, 2019 | ...

This blog post is the third in a series of posts that aim at providing a deeper look into Reactor’s more advanced concepts and inner workings.

In this post, we explore the threading model, how some (most) operators are concurrent agnostic, the Scheduler abstraction and how to hop from one thread to another mid-sequence with operators like publishOn.

This series is derived from the Flight of the Flux talk, which content I found to be more adapted to a blog post format.

The table below will be updated with links when the other posts are published, but here is the planned content:

  1. Assembly vs Subscription
  2. Debugging caveats
  3. Hopping Threads and Schedulers (this post)
  4. Inner workings: work stealing
  5. Inner workings: operator fusion

Spring Boot 2.1.x EOL November 1st 2020

Releases | Phil Webb | December 10, 2019 | ...

We'll keep publishing the occasional maintenance release up until that point, but we recommend that all users consider upgrading to Spring Boot 2.2 as soon as possible. Upgrading to Spring Boot 2.2 from 2.1 should not be too difficult, and upgrade instructions are available on the WIKI.

Engineering | Josh Long | December 10, 2019 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Today I just wrapped up my appearance in Brisbane, Australia, where I have been for the epic YOW! conference. Truly, one of my all-time favorite shows on the planet. I feel like an imposter in the ranks of the other speakers. I can not recommend this show enough.

I'm just about to board my fight back to San Francisco, and we've got a ton of stuff to get to so let's press on!

Spring Cloud Data Flow 2.3.0 GA Released

Releases | Janne Valkealahti | December 09, 2019 | ...

The release 2.3.0 delivers a lot of enhancements and generic compatibility changes for Spring Boot 2.2.x and Spring Cloud Hoxton.

Continuous Deployment For Tasks

As task applications evolve faster to keep up with business needs, the ability for new versions to be consumed via Data Flow in an automated way is needed. While Data Flow has supported the ability to register multiple versions of a task application in previous iterations, the ability to run them in a practical way by re-hydrating command line arguments, deployment properties, and application properties used in previous executions has…
