They also document that as of now. However, 0.9 Brokers work with 0.8.x clients.
However, Anyone has a large deployment on this scenario. e.g. 0.9 brokers + 0.8.x clients? How is your experience and result? more concern in term of system issues. like reliability/scability/performance? we have been heavily invested in the 0.8.x clients. upgrading 0.8.x to 0.9 brokers first,to take expected features for a while might be the best /feasible choice concerning the 0.9 client incompatibility . we could later upgrade the client when we have more resource to develop our client codes. Your input will be really appreciated.
