Compatible messaging systems
The following tables provide information on the supported versions of Kafka,
which is the recommended messaging system to use with Talend server
modules.
In the following documentation:

- Supported with limitations: designates an environment that is supported by Talend but with certain conditions explained in notes.
Information noteWarning: When Apache Kafka is installed on a Windows machine, the Kafka broker
cannot delete old log files. This is due to how it manages files on Windows
operating systems. If you install Apache Kafka on Windows, it will eventually stop
working because it cannot purge old log files, which can cause Talend Data Preparation, Talend Data Stewardship, and Talend Dictionary Service to stop working. Talend recommends to install Apache
Kafka on a Linux machine.
