> I don't really think that KIP-896 is in the center, as it defines broker-client cross-version compatibility, while we are discussing KS upgrade compatibility... This is two different things IMHO. If I have a 2.1+ broker, I can run a 2.0, 1.x, or 0.11.x KS application and upgrade it to 4.0 directly. Thanks for clarifying! Initially, I thought KS would follow client compatibility since KS relies on the client. But later I realize KS has its own client APIs, so we can't guarantee that KS will always align with the same compatibility matrix as Kafka client. > I would rather go with [0.11.x - 1.x] -> [2.0 - 3.9] -> 4.x Sounds like this is something worth to document, should we write it down? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
