Thanks Andrew for the KIP. Nice to solve a long standing gap. I had a couple of questions/concerns:
AS01: What does the broker do with the info it receives? Are they represented as JMX metrics, or do they appear in the logs somewhere? AS02: I don't understand why we moved to v6 while the new configs are added by tag? Should not we either bump to a new version or add a field by tag? It seems you have done both in this KIP. Also if we have 0-6 in the request, should it be mirrored in the response as well (based on convention)? AS03: The regex may need a leading `[`?! - Alieh On Fri, Jul 17, 2026 at 8:53 PM Andrew Schofield < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I'd like to open discussion on KIP-1368: Client framework name and version. > > Applications often use application frameworks such as Spring to connect to > Kafka.
