Description

Storm ships with kafka spout implementation. However there is very little documentation around how to use these spouts and what is role of different components. We have noticed a number of users asking similar questions in storm-user forum. We need to update the README file so users can easily understand how to use these spouts and what are the different configuration options for them.
