New Features

Spring Batch 4.2 includes the following new features:

• Batch Metrics with Micrometer
• Support for Apache Kafka
• Support for Apache Avro

However, the ability to consume these metrics and react to them in real time has been muted by the use of a database as the metrics store. This release introduces a new feature that lets you monitor your batch jobs by using a true metrics store through Micrometer.
