Source verified, tests pass, quick start ok.

Binaries verified, tests on scala https://github.com/stealthly/scala-kafka/pull/27 and go clients https://github.com/stealthly/go_kafka_client/pull/55 passing.

If the release passes we should update the release notes to include the change from KAFKA-1729 please.

We identified at least one more blocker issue KAFKA-1971 during testing. So, we will have to roll another RC for 0.8.2.1.

Thanks,

Jun

Jun, 

Can we also add https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1724 to the next RC please? 

Thanks!

Hi, Joe,

Left a comment on KAFKA-1724. Not sure if it's a true blocker. However, we can probably include it if it can be fixed in the next couple of days.

Thanks,

Jun

Joe,

It turns out that KAFKA-1724 is already resolved in trunk through another jira. However, the change in that jira is big. Since KAFKA-1724 seems to only happen when there is ZK session timeout or the ZK service is not available, I don't think it's worth fixing the issue in 0.8.2.

Thanks,

Jun
