Hi , Thanks for the quick follow up Philip. Also , can you let me know whether the kafka implementation can be as versatile as ActiveMQ with regards to connectivity? I mean to say a web-app generating transactional data in a data base from java webapp, ruby web app or .net web app .... can kafka talk to these with ease as ActiveMQ does or any AMQP protocol messaging system does? finally, i would also like to know whether 0.9.2 incubating can be used in production
