This major version upgrade from 2.6.2 to 3.5.1 introduces significant breaking changes, deprecates Java 8, and moves away from ZooKeeper. It requires code and environment validation.

Highlights:

• Java 8 Deprecated: Kafka 3.0 deprecates support for Java 8, with plans to remove it in version 4.0. Environments running Kafka Connect must be upgraded to Java 11 or newer. [3, 7, 10]
• Custom Connector API Changes: The TaskId and TaskMetadata classes, used in connector development, have deprecated fields and methods. Custom connectors may need to be updated to use the new getter-based APIs. [30]

Source: Apache Kafka documentation
Recommendation: Verify the Java runtime version is 11+ and review custom connector code for deprecated API usage before merging.
