Upstream: confluentinc/librdkafka#4366

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated pull request compilation checks to use the default Kafka-library selection instead of preferring the system library.
    • Removed the Kafka development package from the check’s system package setup. The checks continue to run with SQL database support disabled.

Walkthrough

The CXX-disabled compilation workflow no longer installs librdkafka-dev or sets FLB_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIB_KAFKA=ON. The configuration still sets FLB_SQLDB=Off.

Changes: CI Kafka dependency removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update CXX-disabled compilation workflow
.github/workflows/pr-compile-check.yaml
The job no longer installs librdkafka-dev or passes -DFLB_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIB_KAFKA=ON. It continues to configure with FLB_SQLDB=Off.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Change: Feature

Possibly related PRs

  • fluent/fluent-bit#12716: Adds FLB_SQLDB=Off to the same CXX-disabled compile job, which this workflow also configures.
Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review 8a525

The change affects only a CI compile check and the vendored build files, with no identified runtime regression. The workflow path filter could be broadened so this check runs automatically on such changes, but this does not block merging.

304-307: Also gate tests on actual C++ availability

Even without the option() call, a cache entry like -DRDKAFKA_BUILD_TESTS=ON keeps this block true. On hosts lacking a usable C++ toolchain (the exact case this PR targets), we would still dive into add_subdirectory(tests) and the build fails. Please guard this block with the same CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER check used for src-cpp, e.g.:

-if(RDKAFKA_BUILD_TESTS)
+if(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER AND RDKAFKA_BUILD_TESTS)
   enable_testing()
   add_subdirectory(tests)
 endif()

Learning: In fluent-bit, the correct CMake flag for using system librdkafka is `FLB_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIB_KAFKA=ON`.
