Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3264: ------------------------------------ I think it's fine to do that later. We'll have to decide if it's a requirement before we remove the old high level consumer (it should not affect the removal of the simple consumer). Deprecation in the meantime seems fine according to the discussion in the mailing list (and I agree). > Mark the old Scala consumer and related classes as deprecated > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3264 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3264 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Grant Henke > Assignee: Vahid Hashemian > Fix For: 0.10.2.0 > > > Once the new consumer is out of beta, we should consider deprecating the old > Scala consumers to encourage use of the new consumer and facilitate the > removal of the old consumers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
