You can simply identify the upgrade changes and effects if you're willing to upgrade it to 0.10.

I was already running `Kafka 10` that's why I couldn't post up any experience. Hope someone does. Yup sure would be great. – Kulasangar Jun 13 '16 at 15:55
We are planning to upgrade from 0.8.0 to 0.10.0. Any pitfalls from personal experience as @Nilotpal mentioned above. – Albatross Apr 18 '17 at 00:24

This major issue has been fixed in 0.10:

The memory and bandwidth utilization of 0.9 clients is very high. Such issues were causing spike in resource utilization by the kafka brokers. P.S.: https://github.com/elodina/go_kafka_client/issues/52

Kafka 0.10 changes

Zookeeper connections are discouraged . From 0.10 there won't be any zookeeper connections required . All connections for consuming data will be maintained by consumer API
zookeeper consumer config path will not have any offset lag data
Kafka streams API and connect API has been introduced
in Kafka 0.11 transactions have been introduced which enables Kafka to have exactly once delivery
for monitoring offsets there is a new class KafkaConsumerGroup command class
