title: Determine the Kafka-Client compatibility with kafka-broker
body: <p>Within the remote kafka cloud cluster, the kafka brokers will be updated to a new version (5.1) and therefore a new kafka protocol applies. </p>
  
  <p>Now I should update my kafka client to being able to connect. Right now I am using following kafka relevant dependencies in my spring-boot application:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;1.3.8.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
  
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.integration&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-integration-kafka&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;2.0.1.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
  
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.kafka&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-kafka-test&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;1.0.3.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
  
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.kafka&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-kafka&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;1.0.3.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
  
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.kafka&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;kafka-clients&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;0.9.0.1&lt;/version&gt;
  
  &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.kafka&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;kafka_2.11&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;0.9.0.1&lt;/version&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I already searched for an appropriate compatibility matrix for kafka-clients and kafka-brokers. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Does anyone have an idea how to upgrade successfully ?</li>
  <li>Does anyone have a comptability matrix for this dependencies?</li>
  </ul>
