Sriharsha Chintalapani commented on KAFKA-3633:
-----------------------------------------------
[~gwenshap] I understand the API is marked as unstable. But the reality is
different for lot of projects using the client API they end up having to ship
another version that can only work with 0.10. Its in our interest as Kafka
Community to make these changes less painful. Whats the above patch does is it
to bring back old methods with deprecated tag. Its not as drastic change as the
one we've in 0.10 release and in the next release remove those methods. I don't
see how this causes any issues with proposed new api unless I am missing
something.

> KAFKA-2991 and KAFKA-3006 broke the backward compatibility. In storm we
> already using 0.9.0.1 consumer api for the KafkaSpout. We should atleast kept
> the older methods and shouldn't be breaking backward compatibility.
