> The MessageAndMetadata constructor was changed to include timestamp information as a part of KIP-32. Though the constructor may not be used in general client usage, it may be used in unit tests or some advanced usage. We should maintain compatibility if possible. 
> One example where the constructor is used is Apache Spark: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/external/kafka/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/streaming/kafka/KafkaRDD.scala#L223-L225
> The old constructor was:
> {code}
> MessageAndMetadata[K, V](topic: String,
>    partition: Int,
>    private val rawMessage: Message,
>    offset: Long,
>    keyDecoder: Decoder[K], valueDecoder: Decoder[V])
> {code}
> And after KIP-32 it is now:
> {code}
> MessageAndMetadata[K, V](topic: String,
>    partition: Int,
>    private val rawMessage: Message,
>    offset: Long,
>    timestamp: Long = Message.NoTimestamp,
>    timestampType: TimestampType = TimestampType.CREATE_TIME,
>    keyDecoder: Decoder[K], valueDecoder: Decoder[V])
> {code}
> Even though _timestamp_ and _timestampType_ have defaults, if _keyDecoder_ and _valueDecoder_ were not accessed by name, then the new constructor is not backwards compatible. 
> We can fix compatibility by moving the _timestamp_ and _timestampType_ parameters to the end of the constructor, or by providing a new constructor without _timestamp_ and _timestampType_ that matches the old constructor.
