Log Compaction | Highlights in the Kafka and Stream Processing Community | November 2015

The Apache Kafka community recently concluded its busiest month ever, with a record number of bugs closed and last-minute improvements added to new features. The upcoming release of Kafka 0.9.0.0 is being prepared, and the community is proud to announce the release of Kafka 3.8.0, which includes many new features and improvements. A recent project was built using the confluent-kafka-javascript client to produce and consume data from a Kafka topic, settling the debate on tabs or spaces in a Kafka-style manner.
