Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-3633:
-------------------------------------
It doesn't cause immediate issues, but it makes the API more confusing for new
users.
I'm not against (except for the bad timing, I thought the discussion was over a
while back), but since it is a public API change, please raise the issue in the
mailing list? (Technically it requires a KIP, but we can treat it as a
continuation of KIP-45 discussion)

> KAFKA-2991 and KAFKA-3006 broke the backward compatibility. In storm we
> already using 0.9.0.1 consumer api for the KafkaSpout. We should atleast kept
> the older methods and shouldn't be breaking backward compatibility.
