---------------------------------------------
Sorry, I'm going to review this, but I've been kind of busy lately. If you
don't want to shade in the zipkin receiver that's fine with me.
> htrace-zipkin - add Kafka transport support

> Currently htrace-zipkin writes to the Scribe Thrift endpoint. However, Scribe
> is pretty much dead (although this is just Thrift interface so doesn't really
> need Scribe).
> A Kafka receiver would likely be useful not only for htrace-zipkin, so I
> think it could live outside. The htrace-native would be harder to get working
> with Kafka as there no supported Kafka native client (perhaps this could be
> experimented with https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka).
> Writing to Kafka would also be possible by having a service that translates
> from Scribe Thrift to Kafka messages, however it would be nice to get the
> Kafka producer semantics on the client side (e.g. sync, async, batch size,
> etc.). This will come at the cost of having the Kafka producer as a
> dependency (larger jar), though as well as have a more complex receiver
> (multiple threads from the Kafka producer).
