This post announces Confluent Platform 3.1, which includes Apache Kafka 0.10.1.0. Key new features in Confluent Platform are Automatic Data Balancing to address unbalanced workloads across brokers due to varying topic/partition growth and broker changes, and Multi-datacenter Replication for scenarios like active-active geo-localized deployments, centralized analytics, and cloud migration. Confluent Control Center is enhanced with stream latency and completeness alerting, enterprise authentication integration, and multi-cluster topic monitoring. New open-source components include an Elasticsearch Sink connector with automatic mapping generation and exactly-once delivery, a JDBC Sink connector for exporting data to relational databases, and a new Go Client.
