Going by the Kafka coding guidelines
(http://kafka.apache.org/coding-guide.html), it looks like client libraries can
only be assumed to support two major (0.x) releases (current and previous). I'm
wondering if it would be possible to spin off the components executing requests
against Kafka into separate projects, so users can declare dependency on the
newest storm-kafka-client while also retaining support for older brokers?
