We will eventually only have Java clients.
For your specific question: javaapi.SimpleConsumer and

Java. This is why we expose a javaapi variant which takes Java

clients in Java for better clients adoption while the server is still under
Scala. The plan after the Java clients also includes migrating the common
utils / error code / request formats to Java that will be used for bo

kafka.consumer.SimpleConsumer). Is it just to allow a Scala developer to
write Scala and a Java developer to use Java? We are trying to use the
