The Apache Kafka javadoc and scala doc are published with source and binaries https://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/0.8.2.2/ and they can be generated from source.
There is no javadoc for both producer and consumer (yet but you can generate from trunk for 0.9) because the new java consumer has been in development with testing underway now. If you want to consume from Kafka (as stable) using the project client you have to use the Scala consumer. There is a lot of documentation especially around the API http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#api with lots of good links if any issues github PR are accepted now. For more kafka questions feel free to reach out to the community http://kafka.apache.org/contact.html.
