If this signal is set however the delay will be minimal. The application should mask this signal as an internal signal handler is installed.

Type: integer
broker.version.fallback * 0.9.0 Older broker versions (<0.10.0) provides no way for a client to query for supported protocol features (ApiVersionRequest, see api.version.request) making it impossible for the client to know what features it may use. As a workaround a user may set this property to the expected broker version and the client will automatically adjust its feature set accordingly if the ApiVersionRequest fails (or is disabled). The fallback broker version will be used for api.version.fallback.ms. Valid values are: 0.9.0, 0.8.2, 0.8.1, 0.8.0.
