Hi Mickael, Just to give you the context, this is something that's been discussed several times.
Check out https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5214 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5723 , as well as this pull request: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/3012 I think there was some concern that having a public API that returned API version information would encourage people to write code that only worked against specific broker versions. I remember Ismael and Jay expressed this concern, though I can't find the email threads now... best, Colin On Mon, Sep 16, 2019, at 02:39, Mickael Maison wrote: > Hi all, > > I've created a KIP to add listApiVersions support to the AdminClient. > This will allow us to update the BrokerApiVersionsCommand tool and > more importantly allow users to detect API support and build flexible > client applications: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-522%3A+Update+BrokerApiVersionsCommand+to+use+AdminClient > > As always, feedback and comments are welcome! > Thanks >
