> I see this jira marked as a blocker for 4.0 and at the same time it says that it needs a KIP. We have a dead lock here. Can we remove it as a blocker? Could we consider this KIP as an exception? The primary changes introduced by this KIP are the addition of related end-to-end tests and the update of upgrade paths in the documentation. These changes primarily pertain to testing and documentation, and do not directly impact production code. Given that we have nearly reached a consensus on the associated PR, perhaps we could proceed with direct voting for this KIP. Alternatively, we could defer the KIP (along with the related upgrade/matrix documentation) to the 4.1 release. The streams end-to-end tests already include support for 2.0, suggesting that there are no immediate critical upgrade issues at this time. If Kafka users inquire about client upgrade paths for 4.0, we can direct them to this PR. > The discussion was about testing the upgrades of the consumer with the classic protocol, because currently Streams only works with the classic protocol. However, the test is about upgrading from classic to consumer protocol. While `consumer_protocol_migration_test.py` currently lacks a dedicated test for the classic protocol, the file provides numerous helpful utilities that could facilitate the addition of such a test. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
