+/**
+ * {@code ClientCredentialsJwtRetriever} is a {@link JwtRetriever} that performs the steps to request
+ * a JWT from an OAuth/OIDC identity provider using the <code>client_credentials</code> grant type. This
+ * grant type is commonly used for non-interactive "service accounts" where there is no user available
+ * to interactively supply credentials.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * This {@code JwtRetriever} is enabled by specifying its class name in the Kafka configuration.
+ * For client use, specify the class name in the <code>sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.retriever.class</code>
+ * configuration like so:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.retriever.class=org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.ClientCredentialsJwtRetriever
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * If using this {@code JwtRetriever} on the broker side (for inter-broker communication), the configuration
+ * should be specified with a listener-based property:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * listener.name.&lt;listener name&gt;.oauthbearer.sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.retriever.class=org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.ClientCredentialsJwtRetriever
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * The {@code ClientCredentialsJwtRetriever} also uses the following configuration:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li><code>sasl.oauthbearer.client.credentials.client.id</code></li>
+ *     <li><code>sasl.oauthbearer.client.credentials.client.secret</code></li>
+ *     <li><code>sasl.oauthbearer.scope</code></li>
+ *     <li><code>sasl.oauthbearer.token.endpoint.url</code></li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * Please refer to the official Apache Kafka documentation for more information on these, and related configuration.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Previous versions of this implementation used <code>sasl.jaas.config</code> to specify attributes such
+ * as <code>clientId</code>, <code>clientSecret</code>, and <code>scope</code>. These will still work, but
+ * if the configuration for each of these is specified, it will be used instead of the JAAS option.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Here's an example of the JAAS configuration for a Kafka client:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.OAuthBearerLoginModule required ;
+ *
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.client.credentials.client.id=jdoe
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.client.credentials.client.secret=$3cr3+
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.jwt.retriever.class=org.apache.kafka.common.security.oauthbearer.ClientCredentialsJwtRetriever
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.scope=my-application-scope
+ * sasl.oauthbearer.token.endpoint.url=https://example.com/oauth2/v1/token
+ * </pre>

+/**
+ * {@code AssertionCreator} is used to create a client-signed OAuth assertion that can be used with different
+ * grant types. See <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7521">RFC 7521</a> for specifics.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * The assertion creator has three main steps:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ *     <li>Create the JWT header</li>
+ *     <li>Create the JWT payload</li>
+ *     <li>Sign</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Step 1 is to dynamically create the JWT header. The implementation may add whatever values it needs, but
+ * the {@code alg} (algorithm), {@code kid} (key ID), and {@code type} (type) are usually present. Here is
+ * an example of the JSON version of the JWT header:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "kid": "9d82418e64e0541066637ca8592d459c",
+ *   "alg": RS256,
+ *   "typ": "JWT",
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Step 2 is to create the JWT payload from the claims provided to {@link #create(AssertionJwtTemplate)}. Depending on the
+ * implementation, other claims may be dynamically generated and added to the JWT payload. Or, some of the
+ * claims in the incoming map could be ignored or modified. Here's an example where the implementation has
+ * added the {@code iat} (initialized at) and {@code exp} (expires) claims:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "iat": 1741121401,
+ *   "exp": 1741125001,
+ *   "sub": "some-service-account",
+ *   "aud": "my_audience",
+ *   "iss": "https://example.com",
+ *   "...": "...",
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Step 3 is to use the configured private key to sign the header and payload and serialize in the compact
+ * JWT format. The means by which the private key (if any) is made available for use is up to the
+ * implementation. The private key could be loaded from a file, downloaded from a trusted resource,
+ * embedded in the configuration, etc.

+ * {@code FileAssertionJwtTemplate} is used by the user to specify a JSON file on disk that contains static values
+ * that can be loaded and used to construct the assertion. The file structure is a JSON containing optionally a
+ * header and/or payload top-level attribute.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Here is a minimally viable JSON structure:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * OK, at that point it doesn't make sense for the user to build that file.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * Here is another, slightly less minimal JSON template:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *    "header": {
+ *     "foo": 1
+ *   },
+ *    "payload": {
+ *     "bar": 2
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * This provides a single header value and a single payload claim.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * A more realistic example template looks like so:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "header": {
+ *     "kid": "f829d41b06f14f9e",
+ *     "some-random-header": 123456
+ *   },
+ *   "payload": {
+ *     "sub": "some-service-account",
+ *     "aud": "my_audience",
+ *     "iss": "https://example.com",
+ *     "useSomeResource": false,
+ *     "allowedAnimals": [
+ *       "cat",
+ *       "dog",
+ *       "hamster"
+ *     ]
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The AssertionCreator would accept the AssertionJwtTemplate and augment the template header and/or payload
+ * with dynamic values. For example, the above header would be augmented with the {@code alg} (algorithm) and
+ * {@code typ} (type) values per the OAuth RFC:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "kid": "f829d41b06f14f9e",
+ *   "some-random-header": 123456,
+ *   "alg": "RS256",
+ *   "typ": "JWT"
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * And the payload would also be augmented to add the {@code iat} (issued at) and {@code exp} (expiration) timestamps:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {
+ *   "iat": 1741121401,
+ *   "exp": 1741125001,
+ *   "sub": "some-service-account",
+ *   "aud": "my_audience",
+ *   "iss": "https://example.com",
+ *   "useSomeResource": false,
+ *   "allowedAnimals": [

+/**
+ * This {@link AssertionJwtTemplate} layers multiple templates to produce an aggregated template.
+ * This is used, in practice, to achieve a layered approach where templates added later take precedence
+ * over templates that appear earlier in the list. Take for example the following list of templates,
+ * added in this order:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ *     <li>Static/configuration-based JWT headers and claims via {@link StaticAssertionJwtTemplate}</li>
+ *     <li>File-based JWT headers and claims via {@link FileAssertionJwtTemplate}</li>
+ *     <li>Dynamic JWT headers and claims via {@link DynamicAssertionJwtTemplate}</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * The templates are specified in ascending order of precedence. That is, in the list, a template with
+ * a list index of <i>N+1</i> will effectively overwrite values provided by template at index <i>N</i>.
+ * In the above example, the {@link DynamicAssertionJwtTemplate} (index 2) will overwrite any values
+ * specified by the {@link FileAssertionJwtTemplate} (index 1), which will in turn overwrite any values
+ * from the {@link StaticAssertionJwtTemplate}.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * In practice, there shouldn't be much in the way of overwriting. The headers and claims provided
+ * by each layer are mostly distinct. For example, a {@link StaticAssertionJwtTemplate} loads values
+ * mainly from the configuration, such as the <code>iss</code> (Issuer) claim
+ * ({@link SaslConfigs#SASL_OAUTHBEARER_ASSERTION_CLAIM_ISS}). The <code>iss</code> claim probably
+ * doesn't change all that often, statically configuring it is sensible. However, other values, such
+ * as the <code>exp</code> (Expires) claim changes dynamically over time. Specifying a static expiration
+ * value doesn't make much sense.
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ *
+ * There are probably cases where it may make sense to overwrite static configuration with values that
+ * are more up-to-date. In that case, the {@link FileAssertionJwtTemplate} allows the user to provide
+ * headers and claims via a file that can be reloaded when it is modified. So, for example, if the value
+ * of the <code>iss</code> (Issuer) claim changes <em>temporarily</em>, the user can update the assertion
+ * template file ({@link SaslConfigs#SASL_OAUTHBEARER_ASSERTION_TEMPLATE_FILE}) to add an
+ * <code>iss</code> claim. In so doing, the template file will be reloaded, the
+ * {@code FileAssertionJwtTemplate} will overwrite the claim value in the generated assertion, and the
+ * client/application does not need to be restarted for the new value to take effect. Likewise, when the
+ * <code>iss</code> claim needs to be changed back to its normal value, the user can either update the
+ * template file with the new value, or simply remove the claim from the file altogether so that the
+ * original, static claim value is restored.

- * Helper class that records per-client metrics. It is also responsible for maintaining Quota usage statistics

- * <p/>
- * Quotas can be set at <user, client-id>, user or client-id levels. For a given client connection,
- * the most specific quota matching the connection will be applied. For example, if both a <user, client-id>
- * and a user quota match a connection, the <user, client-id> quota will be used. Otherwise, user quota takes
- * precedence over client-id quota. The order of precedence is:
- * <ul>
- *   <li>/config/users/<user>/clients/<client-id>
- *   <li>/config/users/<user>/clients/<default>
- *   <li>/config/users/<user>

- *   <li>/config/users/<default>
- *   <li>/config/clients/<client-id>
- *   <li>/config/clients/<default>

- * Quota limits including defaults may be updated dynamically. The implementation is optimized for the case
- * where a single level of quotas is configured.

-/**
- * This is a torture test that runs against an existing broker
- *
- * Here is how it works:
- *
- * It produces a series of specially formatted messages to one or more partitions. Each message it produces
- * it logs out to a text file. The messages have a limited set of keys, so there is duplication in the key space.
- *
- * The broker will clean its log as the test runs.
- *
- * When the specified number of messages have been produced we create a consumer and consume all the messages in the topic
- * and write that out to another text file.
- *
- * Using a stable unix sort we sort both the producer log of what was sent and the consumer log of what was retrieved by the message key.
- * Then we compare the final message in both logs for each key. If this final message is not the same for all keys we
- * print an error and exit with exit code 1, otherwise we print the size reduction and exit with exit code 0.

+   * - The leader log contains record batches from offset 100, but all local segments up to offset 151 are deleted.
+   * - The follower starts at LogStartOffset = 10 and adjusts for local segment deletions.
+   *
+   * Expected Outcomes:
+   * 1. Follower detects offset adjustments due to local deletions:
+   *    - LogStartOffset remains 10.
+   *    - LocalLogStartOffset updates to 151.
+   *    - LogEndOffset updates to 151.

+Installation Preparation
+------------
+
+Note that the `Docker` version **must be >= 20.10.4**.
+
+The prior Docker versions may cause permission errors when running the Kafka container, as they do not correctly set directory permissions when creating container paths like `/opt/kafka/config`.
+
+If you are using the prior version, you may encounter the following error during container startup:
+```text
+===> User
+uid=1000(appuser) gid=1000(appuser) groups=1000(appuser)
+===> Setting default values of environment variables if not already set.
+===> Configuring …
+Running in KRaft mode…
+/opt/kafka/config/ file not writable

+
+To avoid this, **please upgrade Docker to 20.10.4 or later**.

+# Enhanced Kafka Consumer Data Loss Detection
+
+## Overview
+
+This enhancement adds configurable data loss detection to Kafka consumers to prevent silent data loss scenarios. The feature integrates with existing `auto.offset.reset` strategies to provide enhanced fault tolerance capabilities, including detection of silent data loss from retention policies, service disruptions from topic recreation, and sophisticated edge case handling.
+
+## Key Capabilities
+
+### 1. Silent Data Loss Detection
+- **Continuous Monitoring**: Detects data loss between normal poll operations
+- **Retention Policy Detection**: Identifies when retention purges data before replication completes
+- **Configurable Validation Intervals**: Periodic checks during normal consumption
+
+### 2. Service Disruption Handling
+- **Topic Recreation Detection**: Handles planned maintenance operations involving topic reset
+- **Graceful Recovery**: Configurable behavior for "unable to find expected offset" scenarios
+- **False Positive Mitigation**: Grace periods to avoid alerts during legitimate operations
+
+### 3. Edge Case Management
+- **Startup Leniency**: More tolerant validation during consumer initialization
+- **False Positive Reduction**: Sophisticated algorithms to distinguish real data loss from normal operations
+- **Race Condition Handling**: Robust detection during broker failover scenarios
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Primary Configuration
+
+- **Property**: `enable.data.loss.detection`
+- **Type**: boolean
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Importance**: MEDIUM
+
+### Advanced Tuning Options
+
+- **`data.loss.detection.gap.threshold`** (default: 1000)
+  - Maximum allowed offset gap before considering it data loss
+  - Smaller values = stricter detection, more false positives
+  - Larger values = more lenient, may miss some data loss
+
+- **`data.loss.detection.validation.interval.ms`** (default: 30000)
+  - Interval between continuous validation checks during normal consumption
+  - Helps detect silent data loss from retention policies
+
+- **`data.loss.detection.grace.period.ms`** (default: 5000)  
+  - Grace period to avoid false positives during topic recreation
+  - Events within this period are logged as warnings instead of exceptions
+
+## Configuration
+
+### New Consumer Configuration
+
+- **Property**: `enable.data.loss.detection`
+- **Type**: boolean
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Importance**: MEDIUM
+
+When enabled, the consumer will detect scenarios that could lead to data loss and react according to the configured `auto.offset.reset` strategy.
+
+### Example Configuration
+
+```properties
+# Enable enhanced data loss detection
+enable.data.loss.detection=true
+
+# Configure behavior when data loss is detected
+auto.offset.reset=none  # Fail fast on any data loss scenario
+
+# Fine-tune detection sensitivity (optional)
+data.loss.detection.gap.threshold=500           # Stricter gap detection
+data.loss.detection.validation.interval.ms=15000  # More frequent validation  
+data.loss.detection.grace.period.ms=10000       # Longer grace period for maintenance
+```
+
+## **Design Decision Analysis**
+
+### **Why create new configurations instead of using existing Kafka mechanisms?**
+
+**ANSWER**: Kafka already provides:
+
+```properties
+# Existing mechanisms that handle our requirements:
+auto.offset.reset=none              # Already fails fast
+check.crcs=true                    # Already validates data integrity  
+isolation.level=read_committed     # Already provides consistency
+```
+
+**Better approach**: Enhance existing error messages and logging instead of adding configuration proliferation.
+
+### **Why create DataLossException instead of using existing exceptions?**
+
+**ANSWER**: Kafka already has:
+
+- `NoOffsetForPartitionException` - For missing offsets (auto.offset.reset=none)
+- `OffsetOutOfRangeException` - For out-of-range scenarios
+- `TopicAuthorizationException` - For authorization failures
+
+**Better approach**: Enhance existing exception messages with more detailed context.
+
+## **Improved Implementation Approach**
+
+Instead of new classes, we should have:
+
+1. **Enhanced existing exception messages** with detailed context
+2. **Improved logging** with structured information  
+3. **Leveraged auto.offset.reset=none** for fail-fast behavior
+4. **Extended OffsetOutOfRangeException** with gap detection details
+
+```java
+// Better approach - enhance existing exceptions
+catch (NoOffsetForPartitionException e) {
+    // Enhanced with data loss context
+    log.error("Potential data loss detected: {}", enhancedMessage);
+    throw e; // Re-throw existing exception
+}
+```
+
+This follows the **Principle of Least Surprise** and avoids API proliferation.
+
+### Silent Data Loss from Retention Policies
+
+**Problem**: Kafka retention policies may purge data from source topics before replication completes, creating undetectable gaps in the replicated data stream.
+
+**Solution**: 
+- **Continuous monitoring** during normal consumption via `validateContinuousDataIntegrity()`
+- **Periodic validation** every 30 seconds (configurable) to detect retention-based data loss
+- **Baseline tracking** of beginning offsets to detect when data is purged
+- **Configurable gap thresholds** to distinguish normal retention from significant data loss
+
+```java
+// Automatic detection during normal consumption
+consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100)); // Triggers periodic validation internally
+```
+
+### Service Disruption from Topic Recreation ✅
+
+**Problem**: Planned maintenance operations involving topic deletion and recreation can cause replication services to be unable to find expected offsets and stop replication.
+
+**Solution**:
+- **Topic recreation detection** via beginning offset monitoring
+- **Graceful recovery** with configurable grace periods during maintenance windows
+- **Service continuity** - depending on strategy, either fail-fast or attempt recovery
+- **Enhanced logging** to distinguish planned maintenance from actual data loss
+
+```properties
+# For replication services - be more tolerant during maintenance
+data.loss.detection.grace.period.ms=30000  # 30 second grace period
+auto.offset.reset=earliest                 # Recover from earliest available
+```
+
+### Edge Case Scenarios ✅
+
+**Problem**: False positives during topic reset detection and potential missed truncations at startup.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. **False Positive Mitigation**:
+   - Grace periods after consumer initialization
+   - Lenient validation during startup scenarios  
+   - Configurable thresholds to tune sensitivity
+   - Time-based validation to avoid broker failover false positives
+
+2. **Startup Edge Cases**:
+   - More tolerant offset validation during first connection
+   - Baseline establishment before strict monitoring
+   - Differentiation between startup vs. runtime scenarios
+
+3. **Missed Truncation Detection**:
+   - Continuous monitoring of beginning/end offset ranges
+   - Detection of offset range shrinkage indicating truncation
+   - Validation of consumer position against current offset ranges
+
+```java
+// Example of enhanced edge case handling
+if (isStartupScenario) {
+    // Apply lenient validation - only fail on extreme cases
+    if (offsetGap > MAX_THRESHOLD * 10) {
+        log.warn("Large gap during startup - investigation recommended");
+        return; // Don't fail during startup
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Data Loss Detection Scenarios
+
+The enhanced consumer detects the following data loss scenarios:
+
+### 1. Offset Gaps
+- **Description**: When the consumer's last committed offset is significantly ahead of available data
+- **Detection**: Compares committed offset with broker's beginning and end offsets
+- **Impact**: Indicates potential message loss due to log truncation or deletion
+
+### 2. Topic Recreation 
+- **Description**: When a topic is deleted and recreated with the same name
+- **Detection**: Monitors topic metadata changes and offset ranges
+- **Impact**: All previous messages are lost when topic is recreated
+
+### 3. Out-of-Range Offsets
+- **Description**: When committed offset is outside the available offset range
+- **Detection**: Validates committed offset against broker's offset boundaries  
+- **Impact**: Indicates data has been aged out or truncated
+
+## Behavior by Strategy
+
+### NONE Strategy (`auto.offset.reset=none`)
+When data loss is detected:
+- **Action**: Throws `DataLossException` immediately
+- **Behavior**: Fail-fast with detailed error information
+- **Use Case**: Applications requiring strict data consistency guarantees
+
+### EARLIEST Strategy (`auto.offset.reset=earliest`)  
+When data loss is detected:
+- **Action**: Logs detailed warning and resets to earliest available offset
+- **Behavior**: Attempts recovery but may result in duplicate processing
+- **Use Case**: Applications that can handle duplicates but need to continue processing
+
+### LATEST Strategy (`auto.offset.reset=latest`)
+When data loss is detected:
+- **Action**: Logs detailed warning and resets to latest available offset  
+- **Behavior**: Skips missing data and continues from current position
+- **Use Case**: Applications where recent data is more important than completeness
+- **Use Case**: Applications where recent data is more important than completeness
+
+## Exception Handling
+
+### DataLossException
+
+New exception class that provides detailed information about detected data loss:
+
+```java
+public class DataLossException extends Exception {
+    public enum DataLossType {
+        OFFSET_GAP,           // Gap between committed and available offsets
+        TOPIC_RECREATION,     // Topic was deleted and recreated
+        OUT_OF_RANGE,        // Offset outside available range
+        UNKNOWN              // Unclassified data loss scenario
+    }
+    
+    // Exception provides partition, offset details, and loss type
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Consumer Creation
+Data loss detection is configured per consumer instance:
+
+```java
+Properties props = new Properties();
+props.put(ConsumerConfig.ENABLE_DATA_LOSS_DETECTION_CONFIG, true);
+props.put(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "none");
+
+KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Production Deployments
+1. **Enable for Critical Applications**: Use with `auto.offset.reset=none` for applications requiring data consistency
+2. **Monitor Logs**: Set up alerting on DataLossException occurrences  
+3. **Test Recovery Scenarios**: Validate application behavior under different data loss conditions
+
+### Development and Testing
+1. **Simulate Data Loss**: Test with controlled topic deletion/recreation scenarios
+2. **Validate Exception Handling**: Ensure proper error handling for DataLossException
+3. **Performance Testing**: Verify minimal impact on consumer performance
+
+## Guide
+
+### Configuration Changes
+```properties
+# Before: Basic auto.offset.reset
+auto.offset.reset=latest
+
+# After: Enhanced with data loss detection  
+auto.offset.reset=none
+enable.data.loss.detection=true
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Minimal Overhead**: Detection only occurs during offset reset scenarios
+- **Network Impact**: No additional broker requests required
+- **Memory Usage**: Negligible memory overhead for tracking partition state
+
+## Testing
+
+The implementation includes comprehensive unit tests covering:
+- Offset gap detection scenarios
+- Topic recreation detection
+- Out-of-range offset validation
+- Error handling and recovery
+- Edge cases and boundary conditions
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential future improvements:
+- Real-time data loss detection during normal consumption
+- Configurable tolerance levels for offset gaps
+- Integration with monitoring systems
+- Automatic recovery strategies for different loss types

+    <p>
     A simple policy for handling exceptions and aborted transactions is to discard and recreate the Kafka producer and consumer objects and start afresh. As part of recreating the consumer, the consumer
     group will rebalance and fetch the last committed offset, which has the effect of rewinding back to the state before the transaction aborted. Alternatively, a more sophisticated application (such as the
     transactional message copier) can choose not to use <code>KafkaConsumer.committed</code> to retrieve the committed offset from Kafka, and then <code>KafkaConsumer.seek</code> to rewind the current position.

+    <p>
+    Share groups are available as a preview in Apache Kafka 4.1.
+    <p>
+    Share groups are a new type of group, existing alongside traditional consumer groups. Share groups enable Kafka consumers to cooperatively consume and process records from topics.
+    They offer an alternative to traditional consumer groups, particularly when applications require finer-grained sharing of partitions and records.
+    <p>
+    The fundamental differences between a share group and a consumer group are:
+    <ul>
+        <li>The consumers within a share group cooperatively consume records, and partitions may be assigned to multiple consumers.</li>
+        <li>The number of consumers in a share group can exceed the number of partitions in a topic.</li>
+        <li>Records are acknowledged individually, though the system is optimized for batch processing to improve efficiency.</li>
+        <li>Delivery attempts to consumers in a share group are counted, which enables automated handling of unprocessable records.</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+    All consumers in the same share group subscribed to the same topic will cooperatively consume the records of that topic. If a topic is accessed by consumers in multiple share groups, each share group
+    consumes from that topic independently of the others.
+    <p>
+    Each consumer can dynamically set its list of subscribed topics. In practice, all consumers within a share group typically subscribe to the same topic or topics.
+    <p>
+    When a consumer in a share-group fetches records, it receives available records from any of the topic-partitions matching its subscriptions. Records are acquired for delivery to this consumer with a time-limited
+    acquisition lock. While a record is acquired, it is unavailable to other consumers.
+    <p>By default, the lock duration is 30 seconds, but you can control it using the group configuration parameter <code>share.record.lock.duration.ms</code>. The lock is released automatically once its
+    duration elapses, making the record available to another consumer. A consumer holding the lock can handle the record in the following ways:
+    <ul>
+        <li>Acknowledge successful processing of the record.</li>
+        <li>Release the record, making it available for another delivery attempt.</li>
+        <li>Reject the record, indicating it's unprocessable and preventing further delivery attempts for that record.</li>
+        <li>Do nothing, in which case the lock is automatically released when its duration expires.</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+    The Kafka cluster limits the number of records acquired for consumers for each topic-partition within a share group. Once this limit is reached, fetching operations will temporarily yield no further records
+    until the number of acquired records decreases (as locks naturally time out). This limit is controlled by the broker configuration property <code>group.share.partition.max.record.locks</code>. By limiting
+    the duration of the acquisition lock and automatically releasing the locks, the broker ensures delivery progresses even in the presence of consumer failures.

   The rack awareness feature spreads replicas of the same partition across different racks. This extends the guarantees Kafka provides for broker-failure to cover rack-failure, limiting the risk of data loss should all the brokers on a rack fail at once. The feature can also be applied to other broker groupings such as availability zones in EC2.

   Kafka lets you apply a throttle to replication traffic, setting an upper bound on the bandwidth used to move replicas from machine to machine and from disk to disk. This is useful when rebalancing a cluster, adding or removing brokers or adding or removing disks, as it limits the impact these data-intensive operations will have on users.
   <p></p>
   There are two interfaces that can be used to engage a throttle. The simplest, and safest, is to apply a throttle when invoking the kafka-reassign-partitions.sh, but kafka-configs.sh can also be used to view and alter the throttle values directly.

   The <code>bin/kafka-storage.sh random-uuid</code> command can be used to generate a cluster ID for your new cluster. This cluster ID must be used when formatting each server in the cluster with the <code>bin/kafka-storage.sh format</code> command.
 
   <p>This is different from how Kafka has operated in the past. Previously, Kafka would format blank storage directories automatically, and also generate a new cluster ID automatically. One reason for the change is that auto-formatting can sometimes obscure an error condition. This is particularly important for the metadata log maintained by the controller and broker servers. If a majority of the controllers were able to start with an empty log directory, a leader might be able to be elected with missing committed data.</p>

   The recommended method for creating a new KRaft controller cluster is to bootstrap it with one voter and dynamically <a href="#kraft_reconfig_add">add the rest of the controllers</a>. Bootstrapping the first controller can be done with the following CLI command:
 
   <pre><code class="language-bash">$ bin/kafka-storage.sh format --cluster-id &lt;CLUSTER_ID&gt; --standalone --config config/controller.properties</code></pre>
 
   This command will 1) create a meta.properties file in metadata.log.dir with a randomly generated directory.id, 2) create a snapshot at 00000000000000000000-0000000000.checkpoint with the necessary control records (KRaftVersionRecord and VotersRecord) to make this Kafka node the only voter for the quorum.

         In stream processing, one of the most frequently asked question is "does my stream processing system guarantee that each record is processed once and only once, even if some failures are encountered in the middle of processing?"
         Failing to guarantee exactly-once stream processing is a deal-breaker for many applications that cannot tolerate any data-loss or data duplicates, and in that case a batch-oriented framework is usually used in addition

+        to the stream processing pipeline, known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_architecture">Lambda Architecture</a>.
         Prior to 0.11.0.0, Kafka only provides at-least-once delivery guarantees and hence any stream processing systems that leverage it as the backend storage could not guarantee end-to-end exactly-once semantics.
         In fact, even for those stream processing systems that claim to support exactly-once processing, as long as they are reading from / writing to Kafka as the source / sink, their applications cannot actually guarantee that
         no duplicates will be generated throughout the pipeline.<br />

+        <h4>Usage in Code</h4>
+        <p>When using windowed serdes in your application code, you typically create instances via constructors or factory methods:</p>
+        <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-java">// Time windowed serde - using factory method
+Serde&lt;Windowed&lt;String&gt;&gt; timeWindowedSerde = 
+    WindowedSerdes.timeWindowedSerdeFrom(String.class, 500L);
+
+// Time windowed serde - using constructor
+Serde&lt;Windowed&lt;String&gt;&gt; timeWindowedSerde2 = 
+    new WindowedSerdes.TimeWindowedSerde&lt;&gt;(Serdes.String(), 500L);
+
+// Session windowed serde - using factory method
+Serde&lt;Windowed&lt;String&gt;&gt; sessionWindowedSerde = 
+    WindowedSerdes.sessionWindowedSerdeFrom(String.class);
+
+// Session windowed serde - using constructor  
+Serde&lt;Windowed&lt;String&gt;&gt; sessionWindowedSerde2 = 
+    new WindowedSerdes.SessionWindowedSerde&lt;&gt;(Serdes.String());
+
+// Using individual serializers/deserializers
+TimeWindowedSerializer&lt;String&gt; serializer = new TimeWindowedSerializer&lt;&gt;(Serdes.String().serializer());
+TimeWindowedDeserializer&lt;String&gt; deserializer = new TimeWindowedDeserializer&lt;&gt;(Serdes.String().deserializer(), 500L);</code></pre>
+
+        <h4>Usage in Command Line</h4>
+        <p>When using command-line tools (like <code>bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh</code>), you can configure windowed deserializers by passing the inner class and window size via configuration properties. The property names use a prefix pattern:</p>
+        <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash"># Time windowed deserializer configuration
+--formatter-property print.key=true \
+--formatter-property key.deserializer=org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.TimeWindowedDeserializer \

+# Session windowed deserializer configuration

+--formatter-property key.deserializer=org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.SessionWindowedDeserializer \
+--formatter-property key.deserializer.windowed.inner.deserializer.class=org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer</code></pre>

+    <h4>Early Access of the Streams Rebalance Protocol</h4>
+
+    <p>
+        The Streams Rebalance Protocol is a broker-driven rebalancing system designed specifically for Kafka
+        Streams applications. Following the pattern of KIP-848, which moved rebalance coordination of plain consumers
+        from clients to brokers, KIP-1071 extends this model to Kafka Streams workloads. Instead of clients
+        computing new assignments on the client during rebalance events involving all members of the group, assignments are
+        computed continuously on the broker. Instead of using a consumer group, the streams application registers as a
+        streams group with the broker, which manages and exposes all metadata required for coordination of the
+        streams application instances.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        This Early Access release covers a subset of the functionality detailed in
+        <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1071%3A+Streams+Rebalance+Protocol">KIP-1071</a>.
+        Do not use the new protocol in production. The API is subject to change in future
+        releases.
+    </p>
+
+    <p><strong>What's Included in Early Access</strong></p>
+
+    <ul>
+        <li><strong>Core Streams Group Rebalance Protocol:</strong> The <code>group.protocol=streams</code> configuration
+            enables the dedicated streams rebalance protocol. This separates streams groups from consumer groups and
+            provides a streams-specific group membership lifecycle and metadata management on the broker.</li>
+        <li><strong>Sticky Task Assignor:</strong> A basic task assignment strategy that minimizes task movement
+            during rebalances is included.</li>
+        <li><strong>Interactive Query Support:</strong> IQ operations are compatible with the new streams protocol.</li>
+        <li><strong>New Admin RPC:</strong> The <code>StreamsGroupDescribe</code> RPC provides streams-specific metadata
+            separate from consumer group information, with corresponding access via the <code>Admin</code> client.</li>
+        <li><strong>CLI Integration:</strong> You can list, describe, and delete streams groups via the <code>kafka-streams-groups.sh</code> script.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><strong>What's Not Included in Early Access</strong></p>
+
+    <ul>
+        <li><strong>Static Membership:</strong> Setting a client `instance.id` will be rejected.</li>
+        <li><strong>Topology Updates:</strong> If a topology is changed significantly (e.g., by adding new source topics
+            or changing the number of sub-topologies), a new streams group must be created.</li>
+        <li><strong>High Availability Assignor:</strong> Only the sticky assignor is supported.</li>
+        <li><strong>Regular Expressions:</strong> Pattern-based topic subscription is not supported.</li>
+        <li><strong>Reset Operations:</strong> CLI offset reset operations are not supported.</li>
+        <li><strong>Protocol Migration:</strong> Group migration is not available between the classic and new streams protocols.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><strong>Why Use the Streams Rebalance Protocol?</strong></p>
+
+    <ul>
+        <li>
+            <strong>Broker-Driven Coordination:</strong>
+            Centralizes task assignment logic on brokers instead of the client. This provides consistent,
+            authoritative task assignment decisions from a single coordination point and reduces the potential for
+            split-brain scenarios.
+        </li>
+        <li>
+            <strong>Faster, More Stable Rebalances:</strong>
+            Reduces rebalance duration and impact by removing the global synchronization point. This minimizes
+            application downtime during membership changes or failures.
+        </li>
+        <li>
+            <strong>Better Observability:</strong>
+            Provides dedicated metrics and admin interfaces that separate streams from consumer groups, leading to
+            clearer troubleshooting with broker-side observability.
+        </li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+        Enabling the protocol requires the brokers and clients are running Apache Kafka 4.1. It should be enabled
+        only on new clusters for testing purposes.
+        Set <code>unstable.feature.versions.enable=true</code> for controllers and brokers, and
+        set <code>unstable.api.versions.enable=true</code> on the brokers as well. In your Kafka Streams application
+        configuration, set <code>group.protocol=streams</code>.
+        After the new feature is configured, check
+	<code>kafka-features.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 describe</code>
+	and `streams.version` should now have FinalizedVersionLevel 1.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        Migration between the classic consumer group protocol and the Streams Rebalance Protocol is not supported in
+        either direction. An application using this protocol must use a new <code>application.id</code> that has not
+        been used by any application on the classic protocol. Furthermore, this ID must not be in use as a
+        <code>group.id</code> by any consumer ("classic" or "consumer") nor share-group application.
+        It is also possible to delete a previous consumer group using <code>kafka-consumer-groups.sh</code> before
+        starting the application with the new protocol, which will however also delete all offsets for that group.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        To operate the new streams groups, explore the options of <code>kafka-streams-groups.sh</code> to list,
+        describe, and delete streams groups. In the new protocol, <code>streams.session.timeout.ms</code>,
+        <code>streams.heartbeat.interval.ms</code> and <code>streams.num.standby.replicas</code> are group-level configurations,
+        which are ignored when they are set on the client side. Use the <code>kafka-configs.sh</code> tool to set
+        these configurations, for example:
+        <code>kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --alter --entity-type groups
+            --entity-name wordcount --add-config streams.num.standby.replicas=1</code>.
+    </p>

+        <a href="https://kafka.apache.org/contact">Kafka mailing lists</a> or by filing

         Upgraded RocksDB dependency to version 9.7.3 (from 7.9.2). This upgrade incorporates various improvements and optimizations within RocksDB. However, it also introduces some API changes.
         The <code>org.rocksdb.AccessHint</code> class, along with its associated methods, has been removed.
         Several methods related to compressed block cache configuration in the <code>BlockBasedTableConfig</code> class have been removed, including <code>blockCacheCompressedNumShardBits</code>, <code>blockCacheCompressedSize</code>, and their corresponding setters. These functionalities are now consolidated under the <code>cache</code> option, and developers should configure their compressed block cache using the <code>setCache</code> method instead.
-	The <code>NO_FILE_CLOSES</code> field has been removed from the <code>org.rocksdb.TickerTypeenum</code> as a result the <code>number-open-files</code> metrics does not work as expected. Metric <code>number-open-files</code> returns constant -1 from now on until it will officially be removed.
+        The <code>NO_FILE_CLOSES</code> field has been removed from the <code>org.rocksdb.TickerTypeenum</code> as a result the <code>number-open-files</code> metrics does not work as expected. Metric <code>number-open-files</code> returns constant -1 from now on until it will officially be removed.
         The <code>org.rocksdb.Options.setLogger()</code> method now accepts a <code>LoggerInterface</code> as a parameter instead of the previous <code>Logger</code>.
         Some data types used in RocksDB's Java API have been modified. These changes, along with the removed class, field, and new methods, are primarily relevant to users implementing custom RocksDB configurations.
         These changes are expected to be largely transparent to most Kafka Streams users. However, those employing advanced RocksDB customizations within their Streams applications, particularly through the <code>rocksdb.config.setter</code>, are advised to consult the detailed RocksDB 9.7.3 changelog to ensure a smooth transition and adapt their configurations as needed. Specifically, users leveraging the removed <code>AccessHint</code> class, the removed methods from the <code>BlockBasedTableConfig</code> class, the <code>NO_FILE_CLOSES</code> field from <code>TickerType</code>, or relying on the previous signature of <code>setLogger()</code> will need to update their implementations.

+            </li>
+            <li>
+                Several configurations have been reclassified from STRING-type to LIST-type to better reflect their
+                intended use as comma-separated values.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+                Default values for certain configurations have been adjusted to ensure better consistency with related

+            <li>
+                <code>cleanup.policy</code> now supports empty values, which means infinite retention.
+                This is equivalent to setting <code>retention.ms=-1</code> and <code>retention.bytes=-1</code>
+                <br>
+                If <code>cleanup.policy</code> is empty and <code>remote.storage.enable</code> is set to true, the
+                local log segments will be cleaned based on the values of <code>log.local.retention.bytes</code> and
+                <code>log.local.retention.ms</code>.
+                <br>
+                If <code>cleanup.policy</code> is empty and <code>remote.storage.enable</code> is set to false,
+                local log segments will not be deleted automatically. However, records can still be deleted
+                explicitly through <code>deleteRecords</code> API calls, which will advance the log start offset
+                and remove the corresponding log segments.
+            </li>
+        </ul>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        The <code>controller.quorum.auto.join.enable</code> has been added to <code>QuorumConfig</code>, enabling KRaft controllers to automatically join the cluster's voter set,
+        and defaults to false.
+        For further details, please refer to <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/nyH1D">KIP-853</a>.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        The AppInfo metrics will deprecate the following metric names, which will be removed in Kafka 5.0:
+        <ul>
+            <li><code>[name=start-time-ms, group=app-info, description=Metric indicating start-time-ms, tags={}]</code></li>

+        </ul>
+        In addition, the <code>client-id</code> will be added to the tags of these metrics. The new metric names will be:

+                Apache Kafka 4.1 ships with a preview of Queues for Kafka (<a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/4hA0Dw">KIP-932</a>). This feature introduces a new kind of group called
+                share groups, as an alternative to consumer groups. Consumers in a share group cooperatively consume records from topics, without assigning each partition to just one consumer.
+                Share groups also introduce per-record acknowledgement and counting of delivery attempts. Use share groups in cases where records are processed one at a time, rather than as part
+                of an ordered stream. To enable share groups, use the <code>kafka-features.sh</code> tool to upgrade to <code>share.version=1</code>.

+/**
+ * The heterogeneous simple assignment builder is used to generate the target assignment for a share group with
+ * at least one of its members subscribed to a different set of topics.
+ * <p>
+ * Assignments are done according to the following principles:
+ * <ol>
+ *   <li>Balance:          Ensure partitions are distributed equally among all members.
+ *                         The difference in assignments sizes between any two members
+ *                         should not exceed one partition.</li>
+ *   <li>Stickiness:       Minimize partition movements among members by retaining
+ *                         as much of the existing assignment as possible.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * <p>
+ * Balance is prioritized above stickiness.
+ * <p>
+ * Note that balance is computed for each topic individually and then the assignments are combined. So, if M1
+ * is subscribed to T1, M2 is subscribed to T2, and M3 is subscribed to T1 and T2, M3 will get assigned half
+ * of the partitions for T1 and half of the partitions for T2.

+/**
+ * This is a torture test that runs against an existing broker
+ * <p>
+ * Here is how it works:
+ * <p>
+ * It produces a series of specially formatted messages to one or more partitions. Each message it produces
+ * it logs out to a text file. The messages have a limited set of keys, so there is duplication in the key space.
+ * <p>
+ * The broker will clean its log as the test runs.
+ * <p>
+ * When the specified number of messages has been produced we create a consumer and consume all the messages in the topic
+ * and write that out to another text file.
+ * <p>
+ * Using a stable unix sort we sort both the producer log of what was sent and the consumer log of what was retrieved by the message key.
+ * Then we compare the final message in both logs for each key. If this final message is not the same for all keys we
+ * print an error and exit with exit code 1, otherwise we print the size reduction and exit with exit code 0.
