Hi! As I was working on component (and Hbase) version updates for connectors , I realized that the kafka connector is still built with Kafka 2.0.0 from 2018.
I also realized that I don't know how to test my Hadoop3 changes (apart from the built-in test suite), so I ended up only updating the Spark connector. Looking at the commit history, I haven't found a single kafka commit that wasn't component update or build related. Activity isn't super high on the Spark connector either, but we ship that at $dayjob and we know that that one has many active users. I'm super ignorant of Kafka, so for all I know the connector may be perfect, may still work with current Kafka 4.x, but this got me thinking: - Is anyone actively using the Kafka connector ? - Is the current connector, built with Kafka 2.0.0 relevant in any way today ?
