---------------------------------------
Hi [~feyman] I'm aware of KAFKA-9689 as well, and also discussed with [~boyang]
about that. I also feel that, doing how swapping online is quite hard, and also
would bring in much complexity with the code as well, and hence suggested we
moving towards the direction to enforce the config change.

> In KIP-447 we introduced a new thread-producer which is capable of
> exactly-once semantics across multiple tasks. The new mode of EOS, called
> eos-beta, is intended to eventually be the preferred processing mode for EOS
> as it improves the performance and scaling of partitions/tasks. The only
> downside is that it requires brokers to be on version 2.5+ in order to
> understand the latest APIs that are necessary for this thread-producer.
> We should consider deprecating the eos-alpha config, ie
> StreamsConfig.EXACTLY_ONCE, to encourage new. & existing EOS users to migrate
> to the new-and-improved processing mode, and upgrade their brokers if
> necessary.
> Eventually we would like to be able to remove the eos-alpha code paths from
> Streams as this will help to simplify the logic and reduce the processing
> mode branching. But since this will break client-broker compatibility, and
> 2.5 is still a relatively recent version, we probably can't actually remove
> eos-alpha in the near future
