Hi Kafka devs, I submitted a KIP last week and encountered a KIP-process race condition where my KIP number was consumed by another dev without updating the wiki page containing KIPs: Kafka Improvement Proposals - Apache Kafka - Apache Software Foundation<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals>
There are now least three separate dev-list threads referencing this conflicted KIP number so I'm concerned that discussion around this number will now be permanently confusing due to the conflict and multiple concurrent unrelated threads referencing the same KIP number. I've intentionally kept the KIP numbers out of this email to prevent yet another thread referencing them. While I'm happy to keep going with my existing KIP number, I was wondering if I should "abandon" it and create a new one. This solution seems like it could create extra confusion, however, so what is the best course of action here? Thanks, Matt
