As stated here in the docs, Vertica uses rdkafka version 0.11.6 which was released back in the 2018's (current is 2.5.3).

Is there any possibility for us to use a more recent version?
Namely >= v1.1.0 (2019), which introduced SASL OAUTHBEARER authentication.


Vertica Analytic Database v24.2.0-2

Engineering team is currently working on upgrading librdkafka. It should be upgraded in 24.4 mostly. with regards to SASL OATH, it is not supported it. I will add a comment in the JIRA.

24.4 has been released and librdkafka has been upgraded in 24.4. Please upgrade your cluster to use new librdkafka version.

@LauriPessi : Were you able to set up SASL OAUTHBEARER in the kafka server?
