Hi Sejal,
Thanks for reaching out.

What would be your recommended strategy to go from 2.2.1 into 3.6.2 version? 
Can we securely do it in one jump or we should use some step in between (e.g. 
to jump form 2.2.1 to 2.6.2 and then from 2.6.2 to 3.6.2)?

Thanks,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Kafka upgrade recommendation
I would suggest going from 2.6.2 to 3.6.2 and then stopping and waiting until 
3.7.1 comes out. There is a pretty serious flaw in 3.7.0 that hit us and we 
ended up having to downgrade to 3.6.2 to recover. The bug is fixed but not 
going to be released until 3.7.1 comes out. The bug prevented metadata from 
being readable and thus anytime a node restarted (including the kraft server 
itself), it could never come back online or be unregistered from the cluster 
either.

Hi there,

We have few clusters in AWS world and being forced to bump cluster version.

So, we are considering options to be in safer way possible, mitigating risks, 
and without outage as possible (our business is 24/7).

Upgrade would be from 2.2.1 / 2.6.2 to 3.7.0 (MSK recommended version).

Things to consider:


  *   Recommended configurations in place so rolling restart is not impacting 
producers/consumers
  *   Clients from different technologies (Java official client/Java SpringBoot 
Spring Cloud Stream/Alpakka Scala/NodeJS) around those versions
  *   2.2.1 cluster version -> TLS SSL SASL/SCRAM authenticated
  *   2.2.6 cluster version -> unathenticated
  *   We don’t use Kafka streams

Could you please which would be your recommendation in terms of upgrade 
brokers? Can be done directly or in several steps? We should upgrade clients 
before than brokers? If so, in which way?

Client side, any recommendation of clients? (example: we use NodeJs rdkafka and 
looking could be limited to brokers 2.3.0, so probably we will need to jump 
into another client)

Thanks
