Alexander Cook commented on QUARKS-72:
--------------------------------------
Using the new client API from 0.9 would let us use the SSL support that was
added, which in turn would allow Quarks applications to integrate with cloud
Kafka services like Message Hub on Bluemix.
The downside of switching to 0.9 clients is that they are not compatible with
0.8 servers, so you lose compatibility with the version of Kafka server that
most people are running. It's not easy to abstract this away from the developer
since 0.8 clients require different user-defined properties than 0.9 clients,
and there is not a direct matching.
> Update Kafka connector to 0.9 client jars and features
