- Support for Kafka 0.10 which is not backward compatible with 0.9 broker.
- Republish all the gems under jruby.
- Update the plugin to the version 2.0 of the plugin api, this change is required for Logstash 5.0 compatibility. See elastic/logstash#5141
- Support for Kafka 0.9 for LS 5.x
- Fix Log4j warnings by setting up the logger
- Internal: Use jar dependency
- Fixed issue with snappy compression
- Internal: Update gemspec dependency
- internal: Use jar dependencies library instead of manually downloading jars
- Fixes "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.xerial.snappy.SnappyOutputStream" issue (#50)
- Added SSL/TLS connection support to Kafka
- Breaking: Changed default codec to plain instead of SSL. Json codec is really slow when used with inputs because inputs by default are single threaded. This makes it a bad first user experience. Plain codec is a much better default.
- Refactor to use new Java based consumer, bypassing jruby-kafka
- Breaking: Change configuration to match Kafka's configuration. This version is not backward compatible
- Update to jruby-kafka 1.6 which includes Kafka 0.8.2.2 enabling LZ4 decompression.
- Depend on logstash-core-plugin-api instead of logstash-core, removing the need to mass update plugins on major releases of logstash
- New dependency requirements for logstash-core for the 5.0 release
- Fix safe shutdown while plugin waits on Kafka for new events
- Expose auto_commit_interval_ms to control offset commit frequency
- Fix infinite loop when no new messages are found in Kafka
- Plugins were updated to follow the new shutdown semantic, this mainly allows Logstash to instruct input plugins to terminate gracefully, instead of using Thread.raise on the plugins' threads. Ref: elastic/logstash#3895
- Dependency on logstash-core update to 2.0
