-----------------------------------------

Hi Karl,

I've been struggling with Kafka consumer for 2 weeks. I was looking this 
documentation to implement Kafka Consumer:
http://kafka.apache.org/083/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html
However, `consumer.poll();` method were returning null always and not throwing 
any exception. 
Then I realized that they haven't implement the functions yet, they're planning 
to release implemented version in October 2015 :)

Today I found Kafka's scala based library which requires extra 2-3 dependency 
to work properly.

Finally, I'm able to consume messages from Kafka from manifold. In 1-2 days 
I'll complete recording Kafka messages to Manifold.

> Kafka is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It 
> provides the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design. A 
> single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads and writes per 
> second from thousands of clients.
> Apache Kafka is being used for a number of uses cases. One of them is to use 
> Kafka as a feeding system for streaming BigData processes, both in Apache 
> Spark or Hadoop environment. A Kafka output connector could be used for 
> streaming or dispatching crawled documents or metadata and put them in a 
> BigData processing pipeline
