It's my understanding that this is the best solution for all versions prior
to and including `0.8.x`. I am not sure of compatibility with individual
versions, as Kafka does not maintain backward compatibility on minor releases,
but we don't have any other processors for `0.7.x`, etc.

> A frequent obstacle for new users is the various processors for communicating
> with Kafka. Due to incompatibilities between different versions of Kafka,
> there are currently 6 processors (3 to push data and 3 to pull data), and
> each "pair" targets a specific version. We should add text to the
> documentation/description of each to clarify explicitly which version of
> Kafka the processor targets, and what its "complementary" processor is named.
