Ismael Juma created KAFKA-18648: ----------------------------------- Summary: kafka-python requires metadata request version 1 Key: KAFKA-18648 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18648 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Ismael Juma Assignee: Ismael Juma
KIP-896 captured protocol api support from a few clients including kafka-python. However, when we actually test a client, unexpected dependencies can sometimes be uncovered. It turns out that kafka-python has a path where the metadata version used is hardcoded to be v0 or v1: [https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/blob/a6d0579d3cadd3826dd364b01bc12a2173139abc/kafka/client_async.py#L835] We need to decide whether we keep the existing behavior in 4.0/trunk and update the KIP to reflect that kafka-python won't work without a (small) change or add back support for Metadata request v1-v3. I also filed an issue with kafka-python-ng (which is a fork of the original that is not abandoned). https://github.com/wbarnha/kafka-python-ng/issues/208 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
