What’s New in Spring Batch?
summary
Spring Batch 4.3 adds Java 14 records support so flatfile/DB/JSON/XML readers can bind to records without boilerplate, introduces GraalVM experimental support (requires RC testing), makes Kafka item reader start from a custom or Kafka-stored offset, adds annotation-based job listeners and a synchronized item stream writer for thread-unsafe writers. Key speedups: MongoDB writer switches to bulk ops — 20x faster in benchmarks, repository writer uses saveAll (≈2x faster for 1M items), and step-start counting moves to a DB count (≈6x faster).
