[Question] Can I use connectors with Kafka 2.8.1 on Amazon MSK?

[jaehyeon-kim]

Hello,

I saw the latest LTS connectors depend on Apache Kafka at version 2.8.0. I plan to test some of them on Amazon MSK and the recommended version is 2.8.1.

Can I use the connectors with the recommended version?

Cheers,
Jaehyeon

I see compatibility matrix up to version 1.0.0 - https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/camel-kafka-connector-1.0.0/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/user-guide/camel-compatibility-matrix.adoc. It indicates Kafka 2.8.0, but it is deleted for later versions.

Yes Camel Kafka Connectors are using the Kafka Client which often is compatible with different broker versions, especially when the two versions are closer, eg 2.8.0 and 2.8.1.
