Indicates that a request API or version needed by the client is not supported by the broker. This is
typically a fatal error as Kafka clients will downgrade request versions as needed except in cases where
a needed feature is not available in old versions. Fatal errors can generally only be handled by closing
the client instance, although in some cases it may be possible to continue without relying on the
underlying feature. For example, when the producer is used with idempotence enabled, this error is fatal
since the producer does not support reverting to weaker semantics. On the other hand, if this error
is raised from
KafkaConsumer.offsetsForTimes(Map)
, it would
be possible to revert to alternative logic to set the consumer's position.
