Hi Ismael, This looks like a healthy KIP for Kafka 👍
As the implementer of a Kafka Protocol library for Python, Aiven-Open/kio [1], I'm curious how this change will affect the library. We generate entities for the full protocol by introspecting the JSON schema definitions under _. How will the KIP change those definitions? Will the dropped versions be reflected as bumps of the lower limit in "validVersions"? Thanks and BR, Anton [1]: https://github.com/Aiven-Open/kio On 2023/01/03 16:17:24 Ismael Juma wrote: > Hi all, > > I would like to start a discussion regarding the removal of very old client > protocol API versions in Apache Kafka 4.0 to improve maintainability & > supportability of Kafka.
