Recommended Kafka version for Samza 0.12

[Louis Calisi <lc...@tripadvisor.com>]

We are finally upgrading our Samza / Kafka environments. Some non-Samza users of the cluster requested we upgrade to Kafka 0.10.2.
Is Kafka 0.10.2 supported by Samza 0.12? Should we continue to use the Kafka-clients 0.10.0.1 or upgrade the client to match Kafka 0.10.2?

Thanks, Louis Calisi

Hi Louis,

Are you referring to the Kafka broker version or the Kafka client version?
If it's the broker version, I believe you should be fine as older minor
versions of clients are _usually_ compatible with newer broker versions.

Samza 0.12 supports Kafka 0.10.0.1. We have not done testing on higher
Kafka versions and if there are incompatibilities.

Do let us know if you had more questions!

Best,
Jagadish
