-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Is changing a message / field name a breaking change?
                 Key: KAFKA-13569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13569
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Fredrik Arvidsson


This [commit|[https://github.com/ijuma/kafka/commit/89ee566e466cd58023c6a4cac64893bfcf38b570#diff-fac7080d67da905a80126d58fc1745c9a1409de7ef7d093c2ac66a888b134633]] changed the name of ListOffsetRequest and ListOffsetResponse to ListOffsetsRequest and ListOffsetsResponse. It was merged from this [PR|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9748] stating it is a MINOR change. Are changes to message names (and perhaps field names as well) not considered a breaking change for the protocol schemas?

I do realize it doesn't change how it is sent over the wire, but it does effect code generators.
