Nullpointer in spring-kafka

we are using spring-kafka-2.0.1.RELEASE and get this error in production:

exception java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.springframework.kafka.listener.KafkaMessageListenerContainer$ListenerConsumer.access$000(KafkaMessageListenerContainer.java:271) ~[spring-kafka-2.0.1.RELEASE.jar:2.0.1.RELEASE] at org.springframework.kafka.listener.KafkaMessageListenerContainer.getAssignedPartitions(KafkaMessageListenerContainer.java:152) ~[spring-kafka-2.0.1.RELEASE.jar:2.0.1.RELEASE] at

Hi,

is version spring-kafka 2.1.1 also compatible with kafka 0.11.x.x?

Thanks

Don't worry: we will back-port the fix up to 1.3.x. So, 2.0.x will be fixed as well.

But, yes, the 1.0.0 kafka-clients jar used by 2.1.x will communicate ok with an 0.11.x.x broker.

GitHub issues doesn't support multiple milestones so we just add the latest one.
