Hello, I ran my own tests made with kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1.tgz binaries with our application:
1st test: ====== replace all kafka .jar files in our application on consumming side (without recompiling anything) => tests passed, OK 2nd test: ======= replace all kafka .jar files in our application on producubg side (without recompiling anything) => KO, we get this error: 2015-01-31 20:54:00,094 [Timer-2] ERROR c.d.i.t.StdOutErrRedirect - Exception in thread "Timer-2" 2015-01-31 20:54:00,111 [Timer-2] ERROR c.d.i.t.StdOutErrRedirect - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: kafka.cluster.Broker.getConnectionString()Ljava/lang/String; Which means that binary compatibility with 0.8.1.1 version has been broken. We use getConnectionString() to get Broker's zookeepers adresses, see this answer from Neha: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201404.mbox/%3CCAOG_4QYnWrB=tmrtcryf8-pdagy_cgfe_cxotqbclrkj2+x...@mail.gmail.com%3E If the kafka.cluster.Broker.getConnectionString() method has been removed with Kafka 0.8.2.0, then what is the suitable replacement for it ?
