------------------------------------
[~Pccesar] What Android API do you provide support for? The version
distribution in May looked like:

Usage for versions older than Oreo is decreasing, as expected, but they still
account for slightly under 40% of users.

> Adding kafka-clients:1.0.0 (also 1.0.1 and 1.1.0) to an Android project would
> make the compilation fail: com.android.tools.r8.ApiLevelException:
> MethodHandle.invoke and MethodHandle.invokeExact are only supported starting
> with Android O (--min-api 26)
>
> Would it be possible to make the kafka-clients backward compatible with
> reasonable Android API (say, 4.4.x) please?
