> @tomncooper @MartijnVisser @AHeise I suggest we move to Kafka 4.0..0 client when we do Kafka connector v4 for Flink 2. WDYT? ( assuming we can sort out the tests) > > I think there is a case to say we do not backport Kafka client v4.0.0 support to Kafka connector v3.3 or 3.4, in case there are old Kafka clusters that we would not want to break on the v3 stream. @davidradl As per the [discussion](https://lists.apache.org/thread/l0kzx2wb2qz7ntcv6wkbbfwx688y0o69) on the dev mailing list, we are going to move ahead with a Connector 4.0 release with Flink 2.0 and Kafka 3.9.0. We can then do point release updates. I still think, given that this PR would drop support for older Kafka versions it should be part of a further major version bump (ie 5.0) but we can have that discussion when the time comes to merge this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
