Yeah, the basics are there, e.g. in the doc for the zookeeper.connect property:
"Specifies the zookeeper connection string in the form hostname:port/chroot. Here the chroot is a base directory which is prepended to all path operations (this effectively namespaces all kafka znodes to allow sharing with other applications on the same zookeeper cluster)." Actually though, I think the docs could be slightly more clear, as past confusion on this list will atest. The confusing part is what to do if you have multiple hosts in your zk cluster. In that case, the '/chroot' is only appended to the end of the list of host/port pairs, e.g.: host1.xyz.com:1234,host2.xyz.com:1234,host3.xyz.com:1234/chroot This is often not obvious to readers of the docs.
