The DMaaP Message Router is being phased out by the DMaaP project in favour of Kafka/Strimzi. For the Policy Framework project, the DMaaP Message Router has a number of vulnerable dependencies that are being flagged.

Current Situation

1. DMaaP MR is the default messaging technology
2. Kafka/Strimzi is supported by PAP/APEX/ACM

Proposed Approach

London Release

1. DMaaP MR remains the default messaging technology
2. Kafka/Strimzi support added to Drools/XACML
3. Change topic names to lower case
   • Check first if this creates an issue for DCAE on the POLICY_NOTIFICATION topic
4. Add a maven profile to allow Kafka/Strimzi users to exclude DMaaP MR

Montreal Release

1. Kafka/Strimzi is the default messaging technology
2. DMaaP MR is deprecated
3. Add a maven profile to allow DMaaP MR users to include DMaaP MR

New Dehli Release

1. DMaaP MR support is removed
