> when using, say, JMS or activemq endpoints you can send text to a destination and it all kinda works OOTB. However it seems pretty hard to actually send anyhting to the kafka endpoint. 
> I wonder if we could do a bit more to make it easier to use as a camel endpoint?
> e.g. if I invoke a HTTP endpoint then pipe the result to Kafka I get:
> {code}
> org.apache.kafka.common.errors.SerializationException: Can't convert value of class org.apache.camel.converter.stream.CachedOutputStream$WrappedInputStream to class org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer specified in value.serializer
> {code}
> seems like it'd be nice if there's no configured serializer to assume its bytes / string?
> If I send to the dataformat endpoint first to force conversion to a String:
> {code}
> to("dataformat:string:unmarshal").
> to("kafka://kafka:9092?topic=cheese&groupId=group1")
> {code}
> then I get: 
> {code}
> 17:34:10.212 [Camel (Funktion) thread #0 - timer://foo] WARN  o.a.c.component.kafka.KafkaProducer - No message key or partition key set
> {code}
> and there's no easy way to pass in a message key or partition key via the URI parameters from what I can see. 
> I wonder if we should support a URI parameter for setting the partition key + message key?
