The `dropped` metric was pre-existing (was `skipped-records` before). It has been at INFO level since 1.1 or 1.2. I think we should leave it at INFO. (The prior justification for this was that it should be abnormal to be dropping records, and it would probably be nice to know by default.)
I have made `lateness` a DEBUG metric, though. [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5742 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for devnull@infra.apache.org
