>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: producer 
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.0

> When using transactions with a 2.5 producer against 2.4 (or older) brokers, it is not possible to call `producer.commitTransaction(..., ConsumerGroupMetadata)` but only the old API `producer.commitTransaction(..., String applicationId)` is supported.
> This implies that a developer needs to know the broker version when writing an application or write additional code to call the one or the other API depending on the broker version (the developer would need to write code to figure out the broker version, too).
> We should change the producer to automatically downgrade to the older CommitTxRequest if `commitTransaction(..., ConsumerGroupMetadata)` is used against older brokers to avoid an `UnsupportedVersionException`.
