Hi, I would like to begin the voting on a small KIP which enhances the Kafka protocol so client connections indicate the cluster ID and node ID they are attempting to connect to. This prevents situations in which clients connect to the wrong node and begin using it regardless, as has been observed from time to time, typically due to a configuration problem or a faulty intermediary between the client and broker.
