Kafka topic documentation and topic concept

[lmoesle]

DigiWF engine listens to multiple kafka topics for events that are processed. Internally the digiWF engine routes incoming (kafka) events to the appropriate consumers based on the message header type. This approach makes it difficult to decide whether to use an already existing topic or to create a new one.

To simplify this we should provide detailed documentation on existing kafka topics and their usage as well as documentation for creating new topics.

Tasks

• Document existing kafka topics and their usage
• Naming conventions for kafka topics
• Instructions and tutorials on how to communicate with digiWF engine using a new kafka topic
