Can MirrorMaker can work across different major versions of Kafka, specifically from a v10 producer to a v8 consumer?
I suspect, given that the client API is not backwards compatible, that the answer unfortunately is no. But it would be useful to get a definitive answer on that, and any suggestions in case the answer is no. The context is that I have a Kafka cluster at version 10 so that I can use the Kafka Connect capability. One of the target sinks is a Kafka cluster at version 8 but I suspect Kafka Connect will not be able to communicate with this cluster because the client version doesn't match the target cluster. There is no scope to upgrade the Kafka 8 cluster.
