In other words 0.8 gives you the richer functionality of the zk producer
without requiring a zk connection. As with zk, you need to give it one or
more urls to bootstrap a connection, but these urls don't need to be the
complete set of brokers (just choose a couple in case one is down or set up
a vip or dns or something).
