Hi Chia-Ping,
I have a question regarding the following comment:
> CP1: Gradle commands are part of the public API, so in which Kafka
version should we announce the deprecation of Gradle commands?
It is the first time I hear that Gradle commands are part of the public
API.
Could you elaborate on this?
Where is this documented?
My assumption was that public APIs are about how to use Kafka, not about
how to build it. Isn't the build system an "implementation detail" that
can be swapped out without a formal deprecation process, i.e., without
waiting for a major release?
Said that, if we decide that we want a new build system, I am -- of
course -- in favor of having both build systems for a while.
Best,
Bruno

hi Vince
Thanks for introducing this interesting KIP! I'm not an expert in Bazel, so
please be patient with my potentially odd questions:
CP0: Can Bazel help simplify build.gradle (currently around 3826 lines)?
CP1: Gradle commands are part of the public API, so in which Kafka version
should we announce the deprecation of Gradle commands?
CP2: The example (https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-bazel) seems to modify
the folder structure of the entire Kafka project. Is this change required? My
concern is that such a major change should be done in a major release. If
restructuring is a requirement for Bazel, does that mean we have to accept it
after this KIP pass?
Best,
