Are there any plans to continue adding features available in the latest versions of Kafka? As an example, ZStandard support for compression is one such feature that provides considerable cpu/network savings for beats clients sending to a Kafka broker. Lastly, Apache Kafka version 2.3.0 was released a couple of months ago. Is there any planned support for adding this version in the near future?
