Description

KAFKA-2120 deprecated block.on.buffer.full in favor of max.block.ms. This change alters the behavior of the KafkaProducer. Users may not be expecting that change when upgrading from the 0.8.x clients. We should:

• Update the KafkaProducer javadoc
• Update the ProducerConfig docs and the generated site docs
• Add an entry to the 0.9 upgrade notes (if appropriate)
