Kafka 2.4.1 validation error in ARM templates

Issue published date: October 13, 2023

When you're submitting cluster creation requests by using Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates), runbooks, PowerShell, the Azure CLI, and other automation tools, you might receive a "BadRequest" error message if you specify clusterType = "Kafka", HDI version = "5.0", and Kafka version = "2.4.1".

Troubleshooting steps

When you're using templates or automation tools to create HDInsight Kafka clusters, choose componentVersion = "2.4". This value enables you to successfully create a Kafka 2.4.1 cluster in HDInsight 5.0.
