What's New in EEP 9.3.1

Summarizes the new features and product updates in Ecosystem Pack (EEP) 9.3.1.

EEP 9.3.1 can be used with releases:
  • 7.9.0
  • 7.8.0*
*The version of librdkafka provided by EEP 9.3.1 is not compatible with release 7.8.0. EEP 9.3.1 provides librdkafka version 2.0.2. Release 7.8.0 supports only librdkafka version 0.11.3. For this reason, you cannot use the Installer to install EEP 9.3.1 on a release 7.8.0 cluster. Manually upgrading a 7.8.0 cluster to EEP 9.3.1 is possible and allows the use of EEP 9.3.1 components other than librdkafka on release 7.8.0.

For more information about EEP and core version support, see EEP Support and Lifecycle Status.
