Description

kafkatest.tests.core.downgrade_test.TestDowngrade tests are failing after https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14628. 
We have added directory.id to metadata.properties. This means metadata.properties will be different for different log directories.
Cluster downgrades will fail with below error if we have multiple log directories . This looks blocker or requires additional downgrade steps from AK 3.7.
