Hey folks, I am starting a discussion thread for managing unstable metadata versions in Apache Kafka. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1014%3A+Managing+Unstable+Metadata+Versions+in+Apache+Kafka
This KIP is actually already implemented in 3.7 with PR https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14860. I have created this KIP to explain the motivation and how managing Metadata Versions is expected to work. Comments are greatly appreciated as this process can always be improved. -- --Proven
