We recently merged support for Kafak 0.10.0 in Structured Streaming, but I've been hearing a few people tell me that they are stuck on an older version of Kafka and cannot upgrade. I'm considering revisiting SPARK-17344 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17344>, but it would be good to have more information.
Could people please vote or comment on the above ticket if a lack of support for older versions of kafka would block you from trying out structured streaming? Thanks! Michael
