The processors could still be named 2_0, it’s only the client jar that should be the latest 2.x version.

June 2020 15:18 To: users@nifi.apache.org Subject: Re: kafka-clients version Usually we make a new version of the processors when something changes that causes a previous version of the client to not work well with the newer broker (i.e. 0.9 client with 0.10 broker, in the older versions). The latest processors are named with "2_0" so not sure if it makes sense to upgrade the client lib and then the name is no longer accurate, plus we'd have to be sure the latest 2.x client also works well with all previous 2.x versions back to 2.0. The other option is to make a new copy of the processor like "2_5" or whatever the latest version is, but I think we only want to do this if it's really necessary. AFAIK the 2.0 client works with the latest 2.x brokers. Is there any specific issue you are looking to solve by using the latest client?
