FWIW I tend to share Matthias's concerns here -- to be fair I completely missed KIP-896 and should have spoken up during the discussion for it, so maybe it's too late now. But we've always attempted to maintain compatibility with older broker versions for Kafka Streams, and this feels like a huge leap to go from supporting everything above 0.11 to only 2.1+ Furthermore, AFAICT we aren't giving users any kind of heads up or deprecation notice, not even a warning log (as far as I'm aware) before suddenly breaking this compatibility. Now all that said, I personally do find it infuriating when people are running Streams against such ancient broker versions. 2.0 was truly a long long time ago, not to mention 1.x or even 0.11. But I also acknowledge that this does happen, and breaking these applications relying on older broker versions without any kind of prior notice feels quite unfair to these users :/ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
