             Summary: Add cross-version system tests
                 Key: KAFKA-20697
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20697
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: streams, system tests
            Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
             Fix For: 4.4.0


With AK 4.4 release, we bump the HB request/response RPCs to `1`, and start to 
send certain fields if both client and server are on version 4.4+.

To ensure that nothing breaks, we need to test older clients against 4.4+ 
brokers, to ensure that no warmup tasks are assigned (an 4.2/4.3 client won't 
report lag information and should never get warmup task assigned) even if 
configured for the group. – We should also think about other compatibility 
scenarios to cover?

Similarly, we should run a 4.4+ client against 4.2/4.3 brokers, to verify that 
it works as expected. The 4.4+ client should not send a bad request which might 
fail broker side.
