> So, it seems that if I want to set a custom serializer class on the producer 
> (in 0.8), I have to use a class that includes a special constructor like:
> public class MyKafkaEncoder<MyType> implements Encoder<MyType> {
>   // This constructor is expected by the kafka producer, used by reflection
>   public MyKafkaEncoder(VerifiableProperties props) {
>     // what can I do with this?
>   }
>  @Override
>   public byte[] toBytes(MyType message) {
>     return message.toByteArray();
>   }
> }
> It seems odd that this would be a requirement when implementing an interface. 
>  This seems not to have been the case in 0.7.
> What could my encoder class do with the VerifiableProperties?
