> Key: KAFKA-20032
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20032
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Ashwin Pankaj
> Assignee: Ashwin Pankaj
> Priority: Major
>
> Apache Kafka lacks a concrete, centralized definition of what constitutes a
> public API. The most relevant information currently available is found
> [here|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=50859233#KafkaImprovementProposals-Whatisconsidereda%22majorchange%22thatneedsaKIP].
> Without formal definition or guardrails, there is a risk that builders may
> inadvertently import internal classes leading to possible build breakages
> when they compile against a newer Kafka version
