hachikuji opened a new pull request #5857: KAFKA-7481; Add upgrade/downgrade
notes for 2.1.x
URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5857
We seemed to be missing the usual rolling upgrade instructions so I've added
them and emphasized the impact for downgrades after bumping the inter-broker
protocol version.

> Consider options for safer upgrade of offset commit value schema
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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?
