this PR is not about proposing a new API to maintain. please try take the Point of view of a Kafka plugin developer. of course using code from another project (i.e. Kafka) that is not published as a API carries a risk - but what is the alternative ? the alternative is being even more coupled to the internals of other project as you must maintain some silly fork/patch. I would very much prefer to fix my tests when the Kafka test annotations evolve. I think this PR may help anyone testing their plugin implementation _my_ use case was a reporter built with https://github.com/prometheus/client_java but there also are authenticators, tiered storage, diskless etc plugins that may interface with external systems and have some kind of concurrency. I do not see this PR adding a burden to Kafka, but a way to help integrators. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
