> Do you mean that we don't need to test the new client (4.0) producing and consuming from older brokers (2.1 to 2.3)? This is a fair question. 2.3 was released in mid-2019, so more than 5 years ago at this point. When 2.3 was released, we didn't test it against Kafka 0.7, which at that point was 7 years old. So there is some precedent? If we do choose to keep around testing of new clients against very old Kafka brokers, we probably should consider forking the KafkaService class in the python code. Otherwise the KafkaService will become increasingly hard to evolve. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
