Description

As described in the KIP, `org.apache.kafka.server.authorizer.Authorizer` is an improvement over `kafka.security.auth.Authorizer` and it's a pure Java interface (instead of Scala).

`kafka.security.auth.Authorizer` has been deprecated since December 2019 and it will be removed in Apache Kafka 3.0 (roughly planned for July/August).

See the KIP for more details:
