Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-7481:
------------------------------------
Using KIP-35 to negotiate protocols is something that has been discussed and
something we want to do, but [~hachikuji] pointed out that we need to think it
through to make sure it works. Another way to avoid two restarts is to use
dynamic broker configs to bump the inter.broker.protocol.version. I am still
not sure if there's a lot of value in having two separate upgrade states, but
could be convinced otherwise.

> Key: KAFKA-7481
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7481
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jason Gustafson
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.1.0

>
> KIP-211 and KIP-320 add new versions of the offset commit value schema. The
> use of the new schema version is controlled by the
> `inter.broker.protocol.version` configuration. Once the new inter-broker
> version is in use, it is not possible to downgrade since the older brokers
> will not be able to parse the new schema.
> The options at the moment are the following:
> 1. Do nothing. Users can try the new version and keep
> `inter.broker.protocol.version` locked to the old release. Downgrade will
> still be possible, but users will not be able to test new capabilities which
> depend on inter-broker protocol changes.
> 2. Instead of using `inter.broker.protocol.version`, we could use
> `message.format.version`. This would basically extend the use of this config
> to apply to all persistent formats. The advantage is that it allows users to
> upgrade the broker and begin using the new inter-broker protocol while still
> allowing downgrade. But features which depend on the persistent format could
> not be tested.
> Any other options?
