Chapter 1. Features
Chapter 1. Features AMQ Streams 2.1 introduces the features described in this section. AMQ Streams version 2.1 is based on Strimzi 0.28.x. Note To view all the enhancements and bugs that are resolved in this release, see the AMQ Streams Jira project . 1.1. Kafka 3.1.0 support AMQ Streams now supports Apache Kafka version 3.1.0. AMQ Streams uses Kafka 3.1.0. Only Kafka distributions built by Red Hat are supported. For upgrade instructions, see AMQ Streams and Kafka upgrades . Refer to the Kafka 3.0.0 and Kafka 3.1.0 Release Notes for additional information. Note Kafka 3.0.x is supported only for the purpose of upgrading to AMQ Streams 2.1. For more information on supported versions, see the AMQ Streams Component Details . Kafka 3.1.0 requires ZooKeeper version 3.6.3, which is the same version as Kafka 3.0.0. Therefore, you will not need to upgrade ZooKeeper when upgrading from AMQ Streams 2.0 to AMQ Streams 2.1. Warning Kafka 3.1.0 provides access to self-managed mode , where Kafka runs without ZooKeeper by utilizing the Raft protocol. Note that self-managed mode is not supported in AMQ Streams . 1.2. Support for IBM Power architecture AMQ Streams 2.1 is enabled to run on IBM Power ppc64le architecture. Support for IBM Power applies to AMQ Streams running with Kafka 3.0.0 and later, and Open JDK 11, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. The Kafka versions shipped with AMQ Streams 1.8 and earlier versions do not contain the ppc64le binaries. 1.2.1.
