Pretty pretty pretty please please please from us at Sematext, too. I provided the instructions in KAFKA-133:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-133?focusedCommentId=13500822&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13500822 I've also pinged zkclient keepers and asked them to publish zkclient 0.2, so Kafka can reference it instead of having a local copy of it. KAFKA-133 is now marked for 0.8, great!
