Compatibility with Apache Kafka
AutoMQ is a next-generation Apache Kafka® distribution redesigned based on cloud-native concepts. It is compatible with the Apache Kafka® protocol and features. This article provides a detailed overview of the compatibility of different AutoMQ versions.
Apache Kafka® Compatibility Overview
In terms of technical architecture, AutoMQ reuses the compute layer code of Apache Kafka® and only replaces minimal components at the storage layer. This ensures complete compatibility with relevant versions of Apache Kafka®. Applications based on Apache Kafka® can be seamlessly replaced with AutoMQ.
During the compatibility verification phase, AutoMQ used Apache Kafka® test case projects and successfully passed the relevant version tests. The specific data is as follows:
| Apache Kafka® Test Module | Passed Test Cases | Total Test Cases | Failed Test Cases | Reason for Failure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sanity_check | 41 | 48 | 7 | Failure cases only apply to Zookeeper mode. Since AutoMQ runs in KRaft mode, these cases can be ignored. |
| client | 37 | 86 | 49 | |
| tools | 8 | 9 | 1 | |
| benchmark | 58 | 120 | 62 | |
| core | 95 | 348 | 253 | |
| connect & streams | 100 | 291 | 191 | |
| Total | 339 | 902 | 563 |
The compatibility relationship between AutoMQ and Apache Kafka is as follows:
| AutoMQ | Apache Kafka Server | Kafka Client | Kafka Connector | HTTP Proxy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v1.1.x (Upcoming release) |
|
| Compatible | Compatibility |
| v1.0.x |
|
|
AutoMQ versions align directly with Apache Kafka versions, ensuring each AutoMQ version is compatible with Kafka Client, Connector, Proxy, and other components within the Apache Kafka ecosystem.
AutoMQ employs a micro-layer storage replacement method to adapt to Apache Kafka, enabling rapid updates to new community versions and supporting the latest Apache Kafka version updates as quickly as within T+1 month.
