Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-2608:
------------------------------------

I think that's less clear. There are pros and cons, but the biggest 
disadvantage is that one may use Scala 2.11 features or APIs by mistake. This 
will be flagged during `testAll`, but it will delay the feedback loop for 
people who use `test` during local development. On the other hand, if things 
work with 2.10, they should work with 2.11 as long as deprecated APIs are not 
used.

Is there some particular benefit you were looking to gain from changing the 
default Scala version in the build.

> Recommend kafka_2.11 for 0.9.0.0 on the website

> Scala 2.11 has been out for 17 months and Scala 2.10 is not being updated 
> anymore. We should recommend the Scala 2.11 version of 0.9.0.0 on the website:
