Warning

Due to an error in which we included dependency changes to a recent patch release, Confluent recommends users to refrain from upgrading to 2.6.2 of Confluent Kafka. Confluent will release a new minor version, 2.7.0, where the dependency changes will be appropriately included. Users who have already upgraded to 2.6.2 and made the required dependency changes are free to remain on that version and are recommended to upgrade to 2.7.0 when that version is available. Upon the release of 2.7.0, the 2.6.2 version will be marked deprecated.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate the feedback that we have gotten from the community.

Note: This version is yanked from PyPI. Use 2.7.0 instead.
