Hi,

as I am recovering from my house-building and moving workload, I just wanted to 
catch up with the others.

There was an initiative to add annotations to some of the Kafka features. And 
to utilize some of the new Kafka Features introduced in newer Kafka versions.
What’s the status on this? Vino? You had any luck with this?
I would suggest that we annotate all new Kafka methods with the version of 
Kafka they were introduced in and leave all the old ones the way they are. 
Without any annotations the constraint checker will not kick in (one we have 
it). Unless however there are features removed (but I think this wasn’t the 
case) … then we would have to annotate them with the final version supporting 
that particular feature.

Another thing we were discussing, was refactoring the names of the Watson iot 
platform connector. I am currently trying to motivate some of my colleagues to 
implement connectors for Google IoT and the Amazon IoT Platforms (Eventually 
even Siemens Mindsphere) … for these modules I would prefer some sort of naming 
convention that supports more than one singular platform.
I would like to name it “iot-ibm” or “iot- watson” or even “iot-ibm-watson”.
What do you think?

Chris
