1. Enforce schema compatibility check on level change

   As a developer,
   I want to have an enforced compatibility check on all existing schemas when the compatibility level is set to a more restrictive one (or for any change),
   so that I can ensure all schemas comply with the new restrictive compatibility level and maintain consistency in the schema registry.
   In addition, this improvement is important because it prevents potential issues when new schemas are registered or existing ones are updated, thereby increasing the reliability of the schema registry.

3. "Last Used" field on Kafka Certificates in Console/API

   As an organization (DevOps/Security/Vendor Manager) using Aiven Kafka,
   we want to determine the last connected cert status of Kafka users,
   so that we can know whether a kafka user certificate has been successfully updated.

   We automate certificate rolling to an extent with terraform. Different teams of devs generally own their section of terraform creating Kafka users. As of right now every two years those certs expire, and clicking the "Yes I've updated" in the Aiven console just silences the alert, and provides no real time verification from the running kafka that a certificate has been updated.

   This means a user with console access can accidentally or erroneously click that button that they've updated a kafka certificate without actually updating the certificate in staging/production, and no alert or reminder email will be sent, and the cert will expire, and the client will slowly start failing connections to partitions over days, costing thousands of dollars as the data transferal job fails but in a piecemeal way that wasn't easily detected by healthchecks.

   The results are just some data isn't there, depending on partition key. Currently without scanning every certificate in use by every application this scenario is not detectable on our side, but may be very easily visible if you have access to the Kafka connection logs and use that to capture for the Console on which certificates are in use.

4. Kafka Connect GCS Sink: Support using field values to define bucket name or file name prefix

   As data streaming architect
   I want to be able to export records from Kafka to GCS and use values in the record to define the bucket or file name
   so that I can organize data by those values to make them easier to find and process.

   Use case is a multi-user/multi-tenant application where user info is a value in the record. Need to be able to organize the output in object storage by that value somehow.

5. Support for "Apache Iceberg" format while sinking CDC

   As a developer / DevOps
   I want to be able to Sink CDC data into Apache Iceberg format
   so that I can analyze data using time travel feature of AWS Athena
   In addition, we may find a way for the current "Aiven - Amazon AWS S3 Sink" connector to be able to produce "Apache Iceberg" in addition of "Parquet" format or we may provide a dedicated connector like the one from this repository : https://github.com/tabular-io/iceberg-kafka-connect

   Yours faithfully,

6. Support for both allow and black lists in Kafka service

   As a managed Kafka administrator
   I want to have the ability to black-list a bunch of IP addresses I believe are suspicious from my Kafka service, so that I can prevent my service being disrupted by unexpected traffic
   In addition, I would like to keep the current allow-list to be able to allow know IPs and a way to resolve a conflict between allow and block list where block list takes priority.

7. CSV kafka connector

   As application engg,
   I want to develop a csv connector where data is ingested from flat files (CSV) and create a stream of records that can be processed in Apache Kafka. It is similar to what confluent kafka provides here (https://docs.confluent.io/kafka-connectors/spooldir/current/connectors/csv_source_connector.html)

8. Cluster leader balancing CPU vs Disk - can we choose?

   As an OPS Engineer
   I want to be able to balance the cluster based on CPU usage rather than Disk usage. The current algorithm focuses on Disk usage which is not optimum for our application.
   Can we have an option to apply partition rebalancing based on CPU usage?

9. Kafka versioned updates

   As a platform engineer
   I want the service updates to be versioned and to be able to select a specific version (Kafka, Karapace, etc) to update to so that I can perform correct change promotion from non-prod to production (instead of being forced to always apply the latest) and so that if a new version is released while an update is in-flight it would not lead to different versions running across the brokers (as is currently the case, which we have experienced can lead to incompatibilities). Additionally, I would like it to be clear what version(s) is currently running in a service and for each version to have a clear changelog

10. Add OpenTelemetry API and SDK to enable traceability in Debezium connector

    As IT Architect
    I want to provide complete traceability within my microservice mesh where 2 microservice communicate via Outbox pattern via Debezium connector. In order to achieve this, Debezium connector requires some of the OpenTelemtry APIs are on the Kafka Connect classpath.
    I want to have this feature so that I can see complete chain of interactions for specific request, observe what and where time is spent inside particular microservice and find out possible bottlenecks.

13. Aiven's S3 sink connector - Support configure offset flush max size

    As Developer
    I want to use Aiven's S3 sink connector and have the ability to control the size of output files (keep same size even if the traffic changes). In general, the connector has no lags and we want to flush the offset and write to file only when we have enough data. We use offset.flush.interval.ms for it but when the traffic increases, the amount of data arrives in the configured interval is increased and can cause an OOM issue. In addition, when we pause the connector for couple of minutes and we gather a lag, it can also lead to OOM without temporary reducing the offset.flush.interval.ms.

17. Connectivity check for MirrorMaker with external Kafka integration

    Debugging failed connectivity between Aiven for Apache MirrorMaker and an external Kafka configured using an integration endpoint is very difficult today. No errors are surfaced in the integration endpoint configuration screen itself, we must wait for the replication flow to attempt to start and then dig out cryptic errors from MM2 logs.

    Some kinds of errors (e.g. failure to build SSL keystores) are not even surfaced in MM2 logs and are only visible to Aiven operators.

    Please consider adding a basic connectivity check to allow for quicker troubleshooting and iteration. This check should ensure that the network path between Aiven and the external Kafka is correct and the chosen authentication method and credentials are valid.

18. kafka_connect_connector_metrics availability over Prometheus

    Our customer Jago wants to monitor the status of connectors and tasks but currently can't find relevant metrics to do so. They want to be able to monitor the status of connectors and tasks on a dashboard and also get notified whenever a connector has not been running for X minutes.

    Jago has a connector running but can not find the metrics for kafka.connect:type=connector-metrics,connector=*.

    The specific metrics they are looking for is the one related to the status of a connector. For example, in the customers current self-managed kafka connect, they have the following metrics. This is convenient because they can get notified whenever a connector is not running.
    kafkaconnectconnector_metrics{status="running",connector="lfs-source-kafka-notifications",} 1.0

    They are also facing a similar issue with task status as they don't see metrics for it, while on their current cluster has:
    kafkaconnectconnector_status{connector="lfs-source-kafka-notification-created",status="running",task="0",} 1.0

    They have shared the attached metrics txt related to that connector that they got from prometheus.
