> @BewareMyPower @michaeljmarshall Thanks for your explanation! I have a question about the broker and client of old version, if the broker supports the xx feature, but the client doesn't support it, shouldn't we cherry-pick it? One reason I think it is unnecessary to backport features to older versions of the client is that the protocol has a feature handshake built in that is supposed to enable different versions of the clients and servers to work together seamlessly. Therefore, if a user wants to get a new feature in the client that was already supported on the broker in an older version, they should be able to upgrade without issue. That being said, I am not sure that we document the client/server compatibility anywhere and I am not sure how good the test coverage is for the many permutations of client versions. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
