KAFKA-18364 add document to show the changes of metrics and configs after removing zookeeper (#18365)
This patch introduces a new page to document the configs and metrics that have been removed in the transition to 4.0. While these removed items lack a formal deprecation cycle as they are part of KIP-500, KIP-500 itself does not provide an exhaustive list of all impacted configs and metrics. Therefore, this new page aims to assist Kafka users in understanding the specific configs and metrics that have been removed in the 4.0 release. Reviewers: Chia-Ping Tsai <[email protected]>

Before updating your Kafka cluster which build on Zookeeper to Kafka 4.0, you must understand what the updates and changes
44+
are between Zookeeper mode and Kraft mode. See the following page to learn about some of the significant changes in
45+
latest Kafka releases.

<h4 class="anchor-heading">Significant Changes in Kafka 4.0 Release</h4>
24+
<p>The following are some of the updates in Kafka 4.0 release:</p>
25+
<h5 class="anchor-heading">Removal Zookeeper configs</h5>
26+
<ul>
27+
<li>
28+
<p>
29+
The password encoder-related configurations have been removed. These configurations were used in
30+
ZooKeeper mode to define the key and backup key for encrypting sensitive data (e.g., passwords),
31+
specify the algorithm and key generation method for password encryption (e.g., AES, RSA), and control
32+
the key length and encryption strength.
33+
</p>
34+
<ul>
35+
<li><code>password.encoder.secret</code></li>
36+
<li><code>password.encoder.old.secret</code></li>
37+
<li><code>password.encoder.keyfactory.algorithm</code></li>
38+
<li><code>password.encoder.cipher.algorithm</code></li>
39+
<li><code>password.encoder.key.length</code></li>
40+
<li><code>password.encoder.iterations</code></li>
41+
</ul>
42+
<p>
43+
In Kraft mode, Kafka stores sensitive data in records, and the data is not encrypted in Kafka.
44+
</p>
45+
</li>
46+
<li>
47+
<p>
48+
Removed <code>control.plane.listener.name</code>. Kafka relies on ZooKeeper to manage metadata, but some
49+
internal operations (e.g., communication between controllers (a.k.a., broker controller) and brokers)
50+
still require Kafka’s internal control plane for coordination.
51+
</p>
52+
<p>
53+
In KRaft mode, Kafka eliminates its dependency on ZooKeeper, and the control plane functionality is
54+
fully integrated into Kafka itself. The process roles are clearly separated: brokers handle data-related
55+
requests, while the controllers (a.k.a., quorum controller) manages metadata-related requests. The controllers
56+
use the Raft protocol for internal communication, which operates differently from the ZooKeeper model. Use the
57+
following parameters to configure the control plane listener:
58+
</p>
59+
<ul>
60+
<li><code>controller.listener.names</code></li>
61+
<li><code>listeners</code></li>
62+
<li><code>listener.security.protocol.map</code></li>
63+
</ul>
64+
</li>
65+
<li>
66+
<p>
67+
Removed graceful broker shutdowns-related configurations. These configurations were used in ZooKeeper mode
68+
to define the maximum number of retries and the retry backoff time for controlled shutdowns. It can
69+
reduce the risk of unplanned leader changes and data inconsistencies.
70+
</p>
71+
<ul>
72+
<li><code>controlled.shutdown.max.retries</code></li>
73+
<li><code>controlled.shutdown.retry.backoff.ms</code></li>
74+
</ul>
75+
<p>
76+
In KRaft mode, Kafka uses the Raft protocol to manage metadata. The broker shutdown process differs from
77+
ZooKeeper mode as it is managed by the quorum-based controller. The shutdown process is more reliable
78+
and efficient due to automated leader transfers and metadata updates handled by the controller.
79+
</p>
80+
</li>
81+
<li>
82+
<p>
83+
Remove the broker id generation-related configurations. These configurations were used in ZooKeeper mode
84+
to define the broker id, specify the broker id auto generation, and control the broker id generation process.
85+
</p>
86+
<ul>
87+
<li><code>reserved.broker.max.id</code></li>
88+
<li><code>broker.id.generation.enable</code></li>
89+
<li><code>broker.id</code></li>
90+
</ul>
91+
<p>
92+
Kafka use the node id in Kraft mode to identify servers.
93+
</p>
94+
<ul>
95+
<li><code>node.id</code></li>
96+
</ul>
97+
</li>
98+
<li>
99+
<p>
100+
Removed Zookeeper related configurations.
101+
</p>
102+
<ul>
103+
<li><code>zookeeper.connect</code></li>
104+
<li><code>zookeeper.session.timeout.ms</code></li>
105+
<li><code>zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms</code></li>
106+
<li><code>zookeeper.set.acl</code></li>
107+
<li><code>zookeeper.max.in.flight.requests</code></li>
108+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.client.enable</code></li>
109+
<li><code>zookeeper.clientCnxnSocket</code></li>
110+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.keystore.location</code></li>
111+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.keystore.password</code></li>
112+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.keystore.type</code></li>

<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.truststore.location</code></li>
114+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.truststore.password</code></li>
115+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.truststore.type</code></li>

<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.protocol</code></li>
117+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.enabled.protocols</code></li>
118+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.cipher.suites</code></li>
119+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm</code></li>
120+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.crl.enable</code></li>
121+
<li><code>zookeeper.ssl.ocsp.enable</code></li>
122+
</ul>
123+
</li>
124+
</ul>
125+
<h5 class="anchor-heading">Removal metrics</h5>
126+
<ul>
127+
<li>
128+
<p>
129+
Remove the following metrics related to ZooKeeper.
130+
<code>ControlPlaneNetworkProcessorAvgIdlePercent</code>
131+
is to monitor the average fraction of time the network processors are idle. The other <code>ControlPlaneExpiredConnectionsKilledCount</code>
132+
is to monitor the total number of connections disconnected, across all processors.
133+
</p>
134+
<ul>
135+
<li><code>ControlPlaneNetworkProcessorAvgIdlePercent</code></li>
136+
<li><code>ControlPlaneExpiredConnectionsKilledCount</code></li>
137+
</ul>
138+
<p>
139+
In Kraft mode, Kafka also provides metrics to monitor the network processors and expired connections.
140+
Use the following metrics to monitor the network processors and expired connections:
141+
</p>
142+
<ul>
143+
<li><code>NetworkProcessorAvgIdlePercent</code></li>
144+
<li><code>ExpiredConnectionsKilledCount</code></li>
145+
</ul>
146+
</li>
147+
<li>
148+
<p>
149+
Remove the metrics which is monitoring the latency in milliseconds for ZooKeeper requests from broker.
150+
</p>
151+
<ul>
152+
<li><code>kafka.server:type=ZooKeeperClientMetrics,name=ZooKeeperRequestLatencyMs</code></li>
153+
</ul>
154+
<p>
155+
In Kraft mode, Zookeeper is not used, so the metrics is removed.
156+
</p>
157+
</li>
158+
</ul>
159+
