Description

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.

• <=0.8 – PutKafka/GetKafka
• 0.9 – PublishKafka/ConsumeKafka
• 0.10 – PublishKafka_0_10/ConsumeKafka_0_10
