Compatibility of 0.8.2 client API (new Producer API) and 0.8.1 Kafka server

Dear all,


In 0.8.2.1 Kafka, there is new Producer API (KafkaProducer etc.).

My question is: will 0.8.2.1 new Producer API

be able to successfully talk to a Kafka server cluster running

with 0.8.1.1 Kafka?


Thanks very much!

Hi Jiangjie, 

Thanks for the reply. 
A little concern is on that: kafka-0.8.1 builds with scala-2.9.1
while kafka-0.8.2 builds with scala-2.10.
Anyway, I will test it soon to confirm. Thanks.

It should work, but usually we prefer the server version to be not lower
than client version.
