-------------------------------------
Summary: KIP-1265 : Public API definition
Key: KAFKA-20032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20032
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Ashwin Pankaj
Assignee: Ashwin Pankaj
Apache Kafka lacks a concrete, centralized definition of what constitutes a
public API. The most relevant information currently available is found here:
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=50859233#KafkaImprovementProposals-Whatisconsidereda%22majorchange%22thatneedsaKIP]
Without formal definition or guardrails, there is a risk that builders may
inadvertently import internal classes leading to possible build breakages when
they compile against a newer Kafka version
