--------------------------------------------
Summary: AdminClient listOffsets fail with old Kafka Broker
Key: KAFKA-12995
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12995
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: clients
Reporter: Alan Artigao Carreño
The implementation of KAFKA-5291 introduced a check for old Brokers
compatibility falling back to _*true*_ in *MetadataRequest
allowAutoTopicCreation* field for some operations like *describeTopics*.
Then, after that backward-compatibility changes, more methods were added to
*AdminClient* like *listOffsets*
[KIP-396|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=97551484]
which unfortunately don't have compatibility with old Brokers into account.
One might argue that, given that new methods were not present previously, it's
not a compatibility break. While this is strictly true, I believe that one of
Kafka Clients' most appreciated feature is the ability to use old Brokers with
new Clients.
I've prepared a small PR to fix for this, following the same approach used in
KAFKA-5291.
