Ingesting from Kafka 8
----------------------

The previous examples are for Kafka 7. To support Kafka 8, a couple changes need to be made:

- Update realtime node's configs for Kafka 8 extensions
  - e.g.
    - `druid.extensions.coordinates=[...,"io.druid.extensions:druid-kafka-seven:0.6.156",...]`
    - becomes
    - `druid.extensions.coordinates=[...,"io.druid.extensions:druid-kafka-eight:0.6.156",...]`
- Update realtime task config for changed keys
  - `firehose.type`, `plumber.rejectionPolicyFactory`, and all of `firehose.consumerProps` changes.

```json

    "firehose" : {
        "type" : "kafka-0.8",
        "consumerProps" : {
            "zookeeper.connect": "localhost:2181",

        },
        "feed" : "druidtest",

            "dimensionExclusions" : [
                "wp"
            ]
        }
    },
