Hi Chaps,

Can we either get one more +1 binding (we have 2 already) on the existing?

Or have some response on the below possible alternative. We are keen to get 
working on this, so we make next feature release.

Cheers
Mike

    Hi Ismael

    Did you see our email this morning, what's your thoughts on this approach 
to instead we simply have a brand new policy?

    Cheers

    Yes, this is actually tricky to do in a way where we both have the desired
    semantics and maintain compatibility. When someone creates a
    `ProducerRecord` with a `null` value today, the producer doesn't know if
    it's meant to be a tombstone or not. For V3 messages, it's easy when the
    constructor that takes a tombstone is used. However, if any other
    constructor is used, it's not clear. A couple of options I can think of,
    none of them particularly nice:

    1. Have a third state where tombstone = unknown and the broker would set
    the tombstone bit if the value was null and the topic was compacted. People
    that wanted to pass a non-null value for the tombstone would have to use
    the constructor that takes a tombstone. The drawbacks: third state for
    tombstone in message format, message conversion at the broker for a common
    case.

    2. Extend MetadataResponse to optionally include topic configs, which would
    make it possible for the producer to be smarter about setting the
    tombstone. It would only do it if a tombstone was not passed explicitly,
    the value was null and the topic was compacted. The main drawback is that
    the producer would be getting a bit more data for each topic even though it
    probably won't use it most of the time. Extending MetadataResponse to
    return topic configs would be useful for other reasons as well, so that
    part seems OK.

    In addition, for both proposals, we could consider adding warnings to the
    documentation that the behaviour of the constructors that don't take a
    tombstone would change in the next major release so that tombstone = false.
    Not sure if this would be worth it though.
