From 01fc5ccdb3c228009f8587c09901cffe2b35839c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaime Soriano Pastor Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:49:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Version Information for kafka-output unclear (#9032) (#9144) In the paragraph "compatibility" it is mentioned that versions 0.11 to 2.00 are supported. In the description of the parameter "version" it is mentioned that all versions from 0.8.2.0 to 2.0.0 are valid. It would be useful to mention the supported versions. This would avoid misinterpretations. I assume that the information in the paragraph "compatibility" is correct.
