MINOR: Remove SPAM URL in Streams Documentation

[rauwuckl]

the previous URL http://lambda-architecture.net/ seems to now be
controlled by spammers

[shashankhs11]

Hi @rauwuckl, thank you for the PR! I clicked on the link and confirm that it redirects to a new and possibly an unsafe URL. I agree with you that the link seems to be controlled by spammers now and could potentially be dangerous.

This issue seems minor and I believe the fix is trivial too, so I don't think we need a Jira ticket to track this.

Just a small request - could you please rename and prefix the PR title with - MINOR:
Maybe something like this? - MINOR: Remove SPAM URL in Streams Documentation

Tagging @mjsax @ableegoldman for review as it is related to streams

Attaching a screenshot for quick access:

thanks @shashankhs11 I changed the PR title as you suggested and made the URL use https

[shashankhs11]

I think it is reasonable to include the url from wikipedia as an alternative. LGTM!

LGTM

Thanks for this fix! -- Can we also do a PR against kafka-site to do the same cleanup across all versions?

We should also cherry-pick this commit to 4.1 and 4.0 branches, maybe even 3.9, to avoid re-publishing the old url again by default?

[shashankhs11]

I would be happy to help with a PR for kafka-site to apply the cleanup across all versions and can also help with cherry-picking to 4.1, 4.0, and 3.9, referencing this PR (#20321).

I want to acknowledge that this was @rauwuckl’s contribution, and I really appreciate the find and the fix, but I am ready to help.

@rauwuckl, please let me know if you were planning to tackle these steps, or I can take a shot at them to keep things moving.

@mimaison you merged this PR could do the cherry-picks. There is no need to do PRs for it, but we can just cherry-pick and push directly. -- If Mickael does not find time for it, I could help out with it.

For kafka-site, I let @rauwuckl and @shashankhs11 figure it out, who wants to do a PR. :)

[rauwuckl]

Thank you all for the quick merge. I appreciate it.

As per @mjsax suggestion, I submitted pull request #712 against kafka-site.

To avoid clutter, I will not submit pull-requests against the mentioned version-branches of this repo. Following the suggestion that @mjsax or @mimaison push these changes directly.

[mjsax]

Thanks. Merged the other PR.

Also took the liberty to cherry-pick this commit to 4.1, 4.0, and 3.9 branches. -- As we are getting a new RC for 4.0.1 release, it should pickup the change correctly. For 4.1 we need to make sure to not update the web-page docs incorrectly, as the current RC does not contain this fix yet.

[mimaison]

Thanks for the backports. Since we're making a new RC for 4.1 we will automatically pick this up.
