Parkerhiphop opened a new pull request, #23522: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23522
Follow-ups to #23125 and #23235 raised similar discussions about how unstable metadata versions should be maintained when bumping `LATEST_PRODUCTION`. The existing comments mainly describe how unstable metadata versions affect users, but do not explain why an unstable version needs to remain available for development and testing. This makes it easy to miss the relationship between `LATEST_PRODUCTION`, `latestTesting()`, and the default version used by `@ClusterTest`. The comments now explain that: - At least one unstable `MetadataVersion` should remain after `LATEST_PRODUCTION`. - The latest unstable version serves as the development and testing version. - Tests require `latestTesting()` to be newer than `LATEST_PRODUCTION`. - The default metadata version in `@ClusterTest` should stay aligned with `MetadataVersion.latestTesting()`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
