Description

In the doc, under Kafka Sink section we mentioned following lines:

"This currently supports Kafka 0.9.x series of releases.
This version of Flume no longer supports Older Versions (0.8.x) of Kafka."

We need to mention the same for Kafka source as kafka consumer is also using new kafka API (0.9.x)
