Clients

Documentation
* Improve kafka.cluster docstrings
* Migrate load_example.py to KafkaProducer / KafkaConsumer

Internals
* Don't override system rcvbuf or sndbuf unless configured explicitly (dpkp PR 557)

This release includes significant code changes. Users of older kafka-python
versions are encouraged to test upgrades before deploying to production as
some interfaces and configuration options have changed.

Users of SimpleConsumer / SimpleProducer / SimpleClient (formerly KafkaClient)
from prior releases should migrate to KafkaConsumer / KafkaProducer. Low-level
APIs (Simple*) are no longer being actively maintained and will be removed in a
future release.

For comprehensive API documentation, please see python help() / docstrings,
kafka-python.readthedocs.org, or run `tox -e docs` from source to build
documentation locally.

Consumers
* KafkaConsumer re-written to emulate the new 0.9 kafka consumer (java client)
and support coordinated consumer groups (feature requires >= 0.9.0.0 brokers)

* Methods no longer available:

* configure [initialize a new consumer instead]
* set_topic_partitions [use subscribe() or assign()]
* fetch_messages [use poll() or iterator interface]
* get_partition_offsets
* offsets [use committed(partition)]
* task_done [handled internally by auto-commit; or commit offsets manually]

* Configuration changes (consistent with updated java client):

* lots of new configuration parameters -- see docs for details
* auto_offset_reset: previously values were 'smallest' or 'largest', now
values are 'earliest' or 'latest'
* fetch_wait_max_ms is now fetch_max_wait_ms
* max_partition_fetch_bytes is now max_partition_fetch_bytes
* deserializer_class is now value_deserializer and key_deserializer
* auto_commit_enable is now enable_auto_commit
* auto_commit_interval_messages was removed
* socket_timeout_ms was removed
* refresh_leader_backoff_ms was removed

* SimpleConsumer and MultiProcessConsumer are now deprecated and will be removed
in a future release. Users are encouraged to migrate to KafkaConsumer.

Producers
* new producer class: KafkaProducer. Exposes the same interface as official java client.
Async by default; returned future.get() can be called for synchronous blocking
* SimpleProducer is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users are
encouraged to migrate to KafkaProducer.

Clients
* synchronous KafkaClient renamed to SimpleClient. For backwards compatibility, you
will get a SimpleClient via `from kafka import KafkaClient`. This will change in
a future release.
* All client calls use non-blocking IO under the hood.
* Add probe method check_version() to infer broker versions.

Documentation
* Updated README and sphinx documentation to address new classes.
* Docstring improvements to make python help() easier to use.

Internals
* Old protocol stack is deprecated. It has been moved to kafka.protocol.legacy
and may be removed in a future release.
* Protocol layer re-written using Type classes, Schemas and Structs (modeled on
the java client).
* Add support for LZ4 compression (including broken framing header checksum).
