is it possible to upgrade only the kafka machines in HDP cluster

[#1]

hi all

we have HDP version - 2.6.4 and amabri version - 2.6.1

kafka version is 10.1

we want to upgrade only the kafka machines to the latest version

so my question is :

is it possible to upgrade only the kafka machine to the latest version ?

what is the latest kafka version ?

HWX doesn't recommend upgrading an individual HDP component because one never knows the incompatibilities that could impact the other components and component selective upgrades tend to be a nightmare during a version upgrade

The lastest HDP Kafka version is 11-2.1.x delivered by HDP 3.1 but ASF has its own rollout version and naming convention
