We are happy to announce the second maintenance release of the Debezium 2.5 release stream, Debezium 2.5.2.Final. This release includes some improvements and numerous bug fixes, so let’s dive right in…​

Improvements and changes

Scoped Key/Trust - store support with MongoDB

Debezium supports secure connections; however, MongoDB requires that the key/trust -store configurations be supplied as JVM process arguments, which is less than ideal for environments in the cloud. This feature was first introduced as part of Debezium 2.6, and we’ve opted to back-port this to Debezium 2.5. This new change allows per connector scoped key/trust -store configurations as part of the connector configuration (DBZ-7379).

The MongoDB connector now includes the following new configuration properties:

mongodb.ssl.keystore

Specifies the path to the SSL keystore file.

mongodb.ssl.keystore.password

Specifies the credentials to open and access the SSL keystore provided by mongodb.ssl.keystore.

mongodb.ssl.keystore.type

Specifies the SSL keystore file type, defaults to PKC512.

mongodb.ssl.truststore

Specifies the path to the SSL truststore file.

mongodb.ssl.truststore.password

Specifies the credentials to open and access the SSL truststore provided by mongodb.ssl.truststore.

mongodb.ssl.truststore.type

Specifies the SSL truststore file type, defaults to PKC512.

A big thank you to all the contributors from the community who worked on this release: Andrey Pustovetov, Chris Cranford, Clifford Cheefoon, Jakub Cechacek, Jiri Pechanec, Lars M. Johansson, Lourens Naudé, Mario Fiore Vitale, Ondrej Babec, Robert Roldan, and Stavros Champilomatis!

Outlook & What’s next?

We are just over a month away from the next minor installment, Debezium 2.6. This next release is packed with tons of new features and changes that we are excited to share. We encourage you to take a moment, grab the pre-releases available here, and share your feedback.

In a few short weeks, the team will begin to shift focus to what lies ahead with Debezium 2.7. This will be the last minor release of the Debezium 2.x release stream, which will include read-only incremental snapshots for other connectors, a new dedicated MariaDB source connector, and a MongoDB sink connector, just to name a few highlights. We will also be carrying over any work from 2.6 that we’re still working on but didn’t make it into that release.

And in closing, the last half of the year will be focusing on Debezium 3, where we’ll be moving to Java 17, work on new time-series source connectors, and more. Please take a moment and review our road map. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to get in touch with us on our mailing list or in our Zulip chat.

Until next time…​

About Debezium

Debezium is an open source distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond almost instantly to each committed row-level change in the databases. Debezium is built on top of Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, so your application can be stopped and restarted at any time and can easily consume all of the events it missed while it was not running, ensuring that all events are processed correctly and completely. Debezium is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
