Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-1880:
------------------------------------
I have started hacking together a solution for this that is integrated into the
build and can check compatibility across different git branches or commits.
Locally I have a very rough implementation that works and identified
KAFKA-3641. I will post a WIP pull request once its cleaned up a bit.

> Recent discussions around compatibility shows how important compatibility is
> to users. [Java API Compliance
> Checker|http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/Java_API_Compliance_Checker] is
> a tool for checking backward binary and source-level compatibility of a Java
> library API. Kafka can leverage the tool to find and fix existing
> incompatibility issues and avoid new issues from getting into the product.
