Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1482 I guess what we would want is - We describe default version of storm-kafka and storm-kafka-client clearly so that users can use it directly when version is matched to what users want. - If it's not, we encourage users to build their own storm-kafka / storm-kafka-client with kafka version which they wanted. So I think documentation is more important on this change. Regarding `provided`, I also think so. Do we want to remove `provided` from kafka-client and kafka artifact from storm-kafka and storm-kafka-client after this change? @harshach @hmcl
