+    <p>
+        Since 3.0.0 release, Kafka Streams uses a newer RocksDB version which 
bumped its footer version persisted on files.
+        This means that old versioned RocksDB would not be able to recognize

Review comment:
       nit: Should we put the summary of this paragraph in the first sentence?
   As you can see, this is the 1st sentence of the above paragraph: `Upgrading 
from any older version to 2.8.0 is possible: ....`, which is clear that we are 
introducing upgrading things.
   
   And in this paragraph, the main point we want to deliver is "Downgrading 
from 3.0.0 to older versions, additional works needed to be done". So, we might 
be able to put this main point at the front, and then explain why it needs this 
work, to make it clear.
   
   What do you think? (BTW, I'm OK with current version :) )
