title: Is kafka consumer 0.10 backwards compatible?
body: <p>Is the kafka consumer 0.10 compatible with 0.9 broker?</p>
  
  <p>If I'm not mistaken the 0.9 consumer is still considered beta whereas 0.10 is stable, right? That's why I'm interested in using the 0.10 version but my broker version is 0.9 and I wouldn't like to upgrade that yet.</p>
