Known issues

  • During broker update to version 2.2.0, upgrading the LOG_MESSAGE_FORMAT_VERSION and INTER_BROKER_PROTOCOL_VERSION to 2.2 causes the offset distributor in the stack to fail.

As a workaround users could update the LOG_MESSAGE_FORMAT_VERSION and INTER_BROKER_PROTOCOL_VERSION to 1.1 version only.
