> Currently the Kafka Sink only writes the event body to Kafka rather than an Avro Datum. This works fine when being used with a Kafka Source, or when being used with Kafka Channel, however it does mean that any Flume headers are lost when transported via Kafka.
> Request is to implement an equivalent of the Kafka Channel's parseAsFlumeEvent parameter to the sink/source so that optionally Avro Datums can be read from and written to Kafka.
