Hello Colin, In the KIP you mentioned that currently the client uses supported api versions information to check if the server supports its desired versions. Not sure, if that is true. I had put together a PR for KAFKA-3600, to do that, but it never went in. Also, I could not find how you plan to perform version check on client side. In KAFKA-3600, I am maintaining api version for each live connection, and that made a few folks think it is too big of a change.
