Since we have to compile and run the tests on each supported > version, there is a non-trivial cost from a development and testing > perspective. > The clients library is in Java and we recommend people use the Java clients > instead of the Scala ones, so dropping support for Scala 2.10 should have a > smaller impact than it would have had in the past. Scala 2.10 was released in > January 2013 and support ended in March 2015. > Once we drop support for Scala 2.10, we can take advantage of APIs and > compiler improvements introduced in Scala 2.11 (introduced in April 2014): > http://scala-lang.org/news/2.11.0 > Link to KIP: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-119%3A+Drop+Support+for+Scala+2.10+in+Kafka+0.11 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
