aartigao opened a new pull request #10929: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10929
Old Brokers prior to Metadata V4 don't support the allowAutoTopicCreation field. The implementation of #3098 introduced a check for old Brokers compatibility falling back to _*true*_ in *MetadataRequest allowAutoTopicCreation* field for some operations like *describeTopics*. Then, after that backward-compatibility changes, more methods were added to *AdminClient* like *listOffsets* in #7296 which unfortunately don't have compatibility with old Brokers into account. One might argue that, given that new methods were not present previously, it's not a compatibility break. While this is strictly true, I believe that one of Kafka Clients' most appreciated feature is the ability to use old Brokers with new Clients. I've prepared this small PR to fix for this, following the same approach used in #3098. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
