+### KAFKA
+
+The `inputFormat` to load complete kafka record including header, key and 
value. An example is:
+
+```json
+"ioConfig": {
+  "inputFormat": {
+      "type": "kafka",
+      "headerLabelPrefix": "kafka.header.",
+      "timestampColumnName": "kafka.timestamp",
+      "keyColumnName": "kafka.key",
+      "headerFormat":
+      {
+        "type": "string"
+      },
+      "keyFormat":
+      {
+        "type": "json"
+      },
+      "valueFormat":
+      {
+        "type": "json"
+      }
+  },
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+The KAFKA `inputFormat` has the following components:
+
+| Field | Type | Description | Required |
+|-------|------|-------------|----------|
+| type | String | This should say `kafka`. | yes |
+| headerLabelPrefix | String | A custom label prefix for all the header 
columns. | no (default = "kafka.header.") |
+| timestampColumnName | String | Specifies the name of the column for the 
kafka record's timestamp.| no (default = "kafka.timestamp") |
+| keyColumnName | String | Specifies the name of the column for the kafka 
record's key.| no (default = "kafka.key") |
+| headerFormat | Object | headerFormat specifies how to parse the kafka 
headers. Current supported type is "string". | no |
+| keyFormat | Object | keyFormat can be any existing inputFormat to parse the 
kafka key. See [the below 
section](../development/extensions-core/kafka-ingestion.md#specifying-data-format)
 for details about specifying the input format. | no |

Review comment:
       we should document the type to be "InputFormat" and link to the input 
format sections in the docs.
   
   We should also document the behavior that this will only process the first 
entry of the input format
