https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1556
What's our plan to support version lines of Kafka? I think we need to guide
storm-kafka to users that for 0.8 you need to blabla, and for 0.9, and for 0.10.
And storm-kafka-client is no longer compatible with 0.9, it would be better
to go with [STORM-1876](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1876)
(#1482). If this patch merged in without STORM-1876, 0.9 users should download
the code, and **change directory to external/storm-kafka**, and build module
with proper `kafka.version` and `kafka.artifact.id` parameters.
