@kishorvpatil I think you are confusing our internal code with open source
code. We have been using an early patch of kafka with security, that supported
security on the older kafka consumer API, and added a corresponding patch to
the kafka-spout to support it. When security finally was officially merged
into kafka only the new consumer API was supported, and it can be configured
completely through the properties/the broker URI.
http://docs.confluent.io/2.0.0/kafka/ssl.html#configuring-kafka-clients
as such `securityProtocol` is not needed any more, and was actually never
in open source.
