@chia7712 Kafka Streams is different - it has to handle its own state during upgrades (kind of like the broker). The same is not true for regular clients. Maintaining tests like this one is pretty painful. Things will eventually break in odd ways (since the 0.11 code is so old). Also, it's so risky to go from 0.11 to 4.x+ in one go given multiple cycles of deprecations, removals, etc. It's simpler to say that such users should first upgrade to 3.9 and then do a second upgrade to 4.x+. This way you avoid maintaining (and running) these tests forever. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
