Kafka ApiVersions Response Wire Format v1 — Binary Protocol Layout

What is ApiVersions?

Sent by every client on every new connection to discover what API versions the broker supports. UNSUPPORTED_VERSION errors in client logs appear when a client is newer than the broker; this API prevents that by letting the client downgrade gracefully.
