I’m happy to announce that Debezium 0.2.4 is now available for use with Kafka Connect 0.9.0.1. This release adds more verbose logging during MySQL snapshots, enables taking snapshots of very large MySQL databases, and correct a potential exception during graceful shutdown. See our release notes for details of these changes and for upgrading recommendations.
We’ve also updated the Debezium Docker images (with label 0.2 and latest) used in our tutorial.
Thanks to David and wangshao for their help with the release, issues, discussions, contributions, and questions! Stay tuned for our next release, which will be 0.3 and will have a new MongoDB connector and will support Kafka Connect 0.10.0.1.
About Debezium
Debezium is an open source distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond almost instantly to each committed row-level change in the databases. Debezium is built on top of Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, so your application can be stopped and restarted at any time and can easily consume all of the events it missed while it was not running, ensuring that all events are processed correctly and completely. Debezium is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
