@abhishekagarwal87 what exactly are we trying to do here. Are we talking
about the producer api not being comptabile with 0.8.x? . There was a suggested
approach in storm-kafka-client patch where we decided to move producer-api
under storm-kafka-client and make that version as 0.9.
If users are intended to run a storm-kafka bolt with 0.8.x cluster they
should be using previous version and we should note this release notes. Just
making the verison change here is a temporary fix and also we are removing any
potential new features in kafka client api out of user hands , example security.
