We were informed a number of months back by our Customer Success Engineer that the default value for Kafka target's ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm config would be changing in an upcoming release from none (no hostname verification) to https in order to enable broker hostname verification by default.

As we are currently planning an upgrade from a May 2023 version to either Nov 2023 or May 2024, we want to confirm whether or not this has in fact changed as a change in the default values would require work on our end to prepare for.

I see no mention of this changing in the release notes for either release and their respective service packs, but I also cannot find any specific documentation on the defaults for Kafka targets, only what options can be set:

Any information around this config would be greatly appreciated. All the better to have a doc of the defaults for Kafka targets.
