> Thanks for the PR. My take is that we do not want to do this. We want to take advantage of KIP-896 and have 2.1 as the new baseline. The value over benefit for these is not worth it The benefit of this change is to ensure that rolling upgrades of the consumer work when the server is running a compatible version (e.g., 3.9). Since `streams_upgrade_test.py` already includes similar tests, adding tests for the consumer makes sense. However, I agree that the benefit is minimal, as the use case is rare (e.g., upgrading from 0.11 to 0.4 is highly unusual). Therefore, I prefer to add a new test case (same file) that runs the 3.9 server to cover these rare scenarios. This approach would eliminate the numerous if-else conditions in the environment setup. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
