THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?
If a user is not interested in using non-default protocol (i.e they are using PlainText transmission and not TLS/SASL), there is no visible change
- If we are changing behavior how will we phase out the older behavior?
The upgrade plan is:
- (if upgrading from 0.8.2.0 or earlier, add inter.broker.protocol.version=0.8.2.0 to configuration file)
- do do a rolling upgrade on the brokers first
- bump version of inter.broker.protocol.versionClients version to current version (0.8.3.0 or 0.9.0.0 depending on release)
- If desired additional ports / security protocols can be added using the new "listeners" configuration parameter.
- Clients can be upgraded whenever is convenient.
Only "plaintext" protocol is supported until broker upgrade is complete. Also, only upgraded clients will be able to use new security protocols.
