The unfortunate part is that between 0.8 and 0.9 there are also breaking API changes on the Kafka side that would affect our code, so I say we need to probably start thinking more about versioning. And in fact we are in the concept of extension registry, but what I am now suggesting is that versioning must come in isolation from registry.
As far as Zookeeper, i simply pointed out as one of the changes that were made., so I am glad it’s not affecting it. I guess to leaves the protocol incompatibilities.

Nifi is able to connect into the Kafka brokers' Zookeeper cluster and retrieve the list of the kafka brokers to connect to. Seems, from the logs, to be a problem when attempting to consume from Kafka itself. I'm guessing that the Kafka 0.9.0 client libraries just are not compatible with Kafka 0.8.2.1 so in order to use Nifi 0.5.0 with Kafka, the Kafka version must be >= 0.9.0. Any change Nifi could add backwards compatible support for Kafka 0.8.2.1 too? Let you choose which client library version, when setting up the GetKafka processor? -- Josh West <josh_w...@bose.com<mailto:josh_w...@bose.com>> Bose Corporation On Sun, 2016-02-21 at 15:02 +0000, Oleg Zhurakousky wrote: Josh Also, keep in mind that there are incompatible property names in Kafka between the 0.7 and 0.8 releases. One of the change that went it was replacing “zk.connectiontimeout.ms<http://zk.connectiontimeout.ms/>” with “zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms<http://zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms/>”. Not sure if it’s related though, but realizing that 0.4.1 was relying on this property it’s value was completely ignored with 0.8 client libraries (you could actually see the WARN message to that effect) and now it is not ignored, so take a look and see if tinkering with its value changes something.

I am still digging so stay tuned.
