> Can we just use a separate node for the client, unconditionally We don't have a `Service` for it, and we currently invoke it in a node that we allocate for the test. With no ZooKeeper all we have is Kafka (version >= 2.8, of course). I could see a situation where we add functionality to `org.apache.kafka.tools.ClientCompatibilityTest` in some future version and then we try to run that against Kafka v2.8 -- and then it'll go BOOM! as you suggest. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
