I do think it's probably better to have a separate bundle. Just because it clearly conveys the intent. It's also the case that while a newer server may be compatible with an older client, it doesn't mean that it works *well*. We've seen this in the past with Kafka where using a 1.0 client with a 1.1 server (it's entirely possible that these are not the correct versions, just using this as an example) worked but the performance was about an order of magnitude slower than using 1.0 client with 1.0 server or 1.1 client with 1.1 server. It had to do with upgrading/downgrading the protocol and was super expensive. So best to stick with matching versions. Also of note, there is a PR up already (https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/4383) for Kafka 2.5 processors. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
