I agree that is a larger discussion here for future releases and we should do that via a new KIP. I am also suggesting that we piggyback on KIP-896 to make 2.1 the baseline for clients/streams upgrades as well. It's a simple message and It's pretty conservative (which is good for the first time we do something like this) and means we don't have to debug/diagnose issues related to super old versions. I tested many of these versions in the context of KIP-896 and it's painful - so much has changed since then (even things like basic CLI flags and configurations are not the same). Also, I think it is actually a bad idea to upgrade directly from such an old version to 4.0. You can't even use the same Java version before/after the upgrade, there are many breaking changes, etc. it's very risky. If people think it makes sense, we can take the discussion to the mailing list. If not, perhaps we can debate a bit more and see if we can find some common ground. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
