This input will read events from a Kafka topic. It uses the 0.10 version of
24-
the consumer API provided by Kafka to read messages from the broker.

Here's a compatibility matrix that shows the Kafka client versions that are compatible with each combination
27-
of Logstash and the Kafka input plugin:

31-
|Kafka Client Version |Logstash Version |Plugin Version |Why?
32-
|0.8 |2.0.0 - 2.x.x |<3.0.0 |Legacy, 0.8 is still popular
33-
|0.9 |2.0.0 - 2.3.x | 3.x.x |Works with the old Ruby Event API (`event['product']['price'] = 10`)
34-
|0.9 |2.4.x - 5.x.x | 4.x.x |Works with the new getter/setter APIs (`event.set('[product][price]', 10)`)
35-
|0.10.0.x |2.4.x - 5.x.x | 5.x.x |Not compatible with the <= 0.9 broker
36-
|0.10.1.x |2.4.x - 5.x.x | 6.x.x |
37-
|0.11.0.0 |2.4.x - 5.x.x | 6.x.x |Not compatible with the <= 0.9 broker

NOTE: We recommended that you use matching Kafka client and broker versions. During upgrades, you should
41-
upgrade brokers before clients because brokers target backwards compatibility. For example, the 0.9 broker
42-
is compatible with both the 0.8 consumer and 0.9 consumer APIs, but not the other way around.
