* The ability for JMXTool to connect to secured RMI ports.
* A new and improved API for setting topic and broker configurations.
* Support for non-key joining in KTable.
* The ability to track the number of partitions which are under their min ISR count.
* The ability for consumers to opt out of automatic topic creation, even when it is enabled on the broker.
* The ability to use external configuration stores.
* Improved replica fetcher behavior when errors are encountered.
