+1 on upgrading the HBase version of the connector, and 1.4.3 is indeed an old version.
OTOH, AFAIK there're still quite some 1.x HBase clusters in production. We could also see that the HBase community is still maintaining 1.x release lines (with "stable-1 release" point to 1.4.13) [1] Please also notice that HBase follows semantic versioning [2] [3] thus don't promise any kind of compatibility (source/binary/wire, etc.) between major versions. So if we only maintain 2.x connector, it would not be able to work with 1.x HBase clusters. I totally understand the additional efforts of maintaining two modules, but since we're also reserving multiple versions for kafka connector, meantime considering the current HBase in-production status, I'd still suggest to get both 1.4.13 and 2.2.5 supported.
