-Deprecated publishers
----------------------
-
-The following publishers are deprecated as of Ocata and may be removed in
-subsequent releases.
-
-kafka
-`````
-
-.. note::
-
-   We recommened you use oslo.messaging if possible as it provides consistent
-   OpenStack API.
-
-The ``kafka`` publisher can be specified in the form of:
-``kafka://kafka_broker_ip: kafka_broker_port?topic=kafka_topic
-&option1=value1``.
-
-This publisher sends metering data to a kafka broker. The kafka publisher
-offers similar options as ``notifier`` publisher.
-
-.. note::
-
-   If the topic parameter is missing, this publisher brings out
-   metering data under a topic name, ``ceilometer``. When the port
-   number is not specified, this publisher uses 9092 as the
-   broker's port.
