Github user harshach commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1482
@abhishekagarwal87 @HeartSaVioR @unsleepy22 currently we are hard-coding
the version here
https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/external/storm-kafka/pom.xml#L34 .
Without having this kafka.version we won't be able to override during the build
times if I want to build storm-kafka with version 0.9. Hence the reason for
this patch where we are introducing 2 versions
1. storm.kafka.version -> storm-kafka
2. kafka.version -> to build the storm-kafka-client(new kafka api)
