To Kuan-Po > When we're talking about two major versions, should it be [4.x, 5.x] or [4.x, 6.x]? The latter seems to refer to three major versions, doesn't it?"
Sorry for the unclear description. My point is that 5.x can communicate with both 4.x and 6.x. > In the meantime, I think we should align on the plan for 4.0. Do we really want to keep testing and supporting direct client upgrades from 0.11 to 4.0? Is that even a good idea? Seems pretty risky to me. The upgrade paths described by KIP-1124 do not include 0.11 -> 4.0 *Propose documenting the following recommended upgrade path: * *Kafka Client: [0.11.x - 1.x] → [2.0.x - 3.9.x] → 4.x* *Kafka Streams: [0.11.x - 2.3.x] → [2.4.x - 3.9.x] → 4.x* *Best,* *Chia-Ping* Ismael Juma <m...@ismaeljuma.com> 於 2025年1月21日 週二 上午1:22寫道： > Thanks for the KIP - one suggestion I have is to perhaps separate the long > term policy (which will naturally require a lot more debate) and what we > plan to do for 4.0. > > Why is the long term policy more complicated?
