ASF GitHub Bot commented on STORM-1755: --------------------------------------- Github user harshach commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1386#issuecomment-216590463 @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. > Revert the kafka client version upgrade in storm-kafka module > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STORM-1755 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1755 > Project: Apache Storm > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: storm-kafka > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Reporter: Abhishek Agarwal > Assignee: Abhishek Agarwal > > storm-kafka module does not use any feature of new API.
