David Jacot created KAFKA-9297: ---------------------------------- Summary: CreateTopic API do not work with older version of the request/response Key: KAFKA-9297 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9297 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: David Jacot Assignee: David Jacot
The create topic api do not work with older version of the api. It can be reproduced by trying to create a topic with `kafka-topics.sh` from 2.3. It timeouts. The latest version of the response has introduced new fields with default values. When those fields are not supported by the version used by the client, the serialization mechanism expect to have the default values and throw otherwise. The current implementation in KafkaApis set them regardless of the version used. It seems that it has been introduced in KIP-525. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
