Let me clarify, there is no concrete plan to add new record versions right now (although we have a list of potential improvements), so the code doesn't have a lot of value. However, external interfaces like metrics shouldn't flip flop. Same way we have a metric for deprecated protocol API versions even though that won't trigger in 4.0 since we don't have any right now. That is, we should be more conservatives about deprecating external interfaces when compared to what we do with internal code. If a new record version doesn't materialize during the life of 4.x, perhaps then we should reconsider the deprecation of the metrics, but I don't think we have to rush it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
