The Confluent Platform May 2018 Preview release introduces powerful new capabilities for KSQL and the Schema Registry UI, designed to help operations teams manage schema and allow beginners to learn about it. A new Schema Registry UI allows users to view schema per topic, version history, and compare between previous and current schemas. An autocomplete feature has been added to the KSQL query editor to compose queries faster, while a new INSERT INTO statement lets users write query output into an existing stream. Docker images are now available for preview versions of KSQL server and CLI, allowing for easier deployment. The DROP statement supports deleting underlying Kafka topics and registered Avro schemas, ensuring clean-up during iterative development and testing.
