I am not convinced yet why this PR bumps the major version of the connector. > I still think, given that this PR would drop support for older Kafka versions it should be part of a further major version bump (ie 5.0) but we can have that discussion when the time comes to merge this. Is this true? Afaict the proposed change only increases the source compatible version but the new client version is still able to talk to older kafka clusters since the Kafka clients are backwards compatible. Users should still be safe to upgrade to the new connector version without changing the rest of their infrastructure e.g. Flink cluster/Kafka cluster upgrade. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
