Hi

I am using redis for akka persistence. Below is the redis dependency.redis  
[https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.hootsuite/akka-persistence-redis\_2.12/0.8.0](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.hootsuite/akka-persistence-redis_2.12/0.8.0)

But there is a jar conflict with kafka. Kafka uses scala library 2.11.8 but my redis version is 2.12 it uses scala library 2.12.8.

I don’t have option to upgrade my kafka.

Kindly do the needful If we have any such redis library matches with scala 2.11.8

Thanks

Kafka only uses Scala on the server side. There’s no need to match the Scala version of libraries that run in different processes.

But looking at the link in your message, I can see that there is also a Scala 2.11 compatible artifact available for the same version:

[https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.hootsuite/akka-persistence-redis\_2.11/0.8.0](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.hootsuite/akka-persistence-redis_2.11/0.8.0)
