@revans2 Thanks for looking at this. Before we didn't throw any exceptions
when the config was incorrect. I added this
[line](https://github.com/curtisallen/storm/blob/STORM-603/external/storm-kafka/src/jvm/storm/kafka/DynamicBrokersReader.java#L64)
that throws an exception if the config is incorrect. Right now it's a
RuntimeException however, would you prefer I throw a null pointer exception
earlier?
