<ol>
<li> Update server.properties on all brokers and add the following properties. CURRENT_KAFKA_VERSION refers to the version you
are upgrading from. CURRENT_MESSAGE_FORMAT_VERSION refers to the message format version currently in use. If you have previously
overridden the message format version, you should keep its current value. Alternatively, if you are upgrading from a version prior
to 0.11.0.x, then CURRENT_MESSAGE_FORMAT_VERSION should be set to match CURRENT_KAFKA_VERSION.
