             Summary: Documentation bug: Add information for key.serializer and 
value.serializer to New Producer Config sections
                 Key: KAFKA-2412
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2412
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jeremy Fields
            Priority: Minor


As key.serializer and value.serializer are required options when using the new 
producer, they should be mentioned in the documentation ( here and svn 
http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#newproducerconfigs )

Appropriate values for these options exist in javadoc and producer.java 
examples; however, not everyone is reading those, as is the case for anyone 
setting up a producer.config file for mirrormaker.

A sensible default should be suggested, such as
org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer
Or at least a mention of the key.serializer and value.serializer options along 
with a link to javadoc

Thanks
