Hi Travis, Thanks for the KIP. That seems to be a useful addition. I have a few concerns/comments:
01: Managed Kafka services do not necessarily run a specific version or may not want to expose it. I suppose that they could keep an empty string. 02: I am a bit concerned by clients that could misuse these information. For instance, one may be tempted to rely on the version to decide whether a feature is enabled or not. The api versions should remain the source of truth but we cannot enforce it with the proposed approach. That may be acceptable though. 03: Updating the API does not seem to be enough. How would tools access the information? Tools rarely use the API directly. They would rather use the admin client for instance.
