twalthr opened a new pull request #7087: [FLINK-10843] [connectors] Make Kafka table factory versioning more flexible
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/7087
 
 
   ## What is the purpose of the change
   
   This PR makes the versioning of a Kafka table factory more flexible. It still forces a Kafka version for future backwards compatibility cases. It allows for `1.*` and `2.*` versioning for the modern Kafka connector. However, a user can always fallback to a `universal` version wildcard.
   
   
   ## Brief change log
   
   - Extended Kafka validator 
   - Extended Kafka table factory
   
   ## Verifying this change
