[chore][receiver/kafa] Update README on topic #33678

Closed crobert-1 closed 1 week ago

crobert-1 commented 1 week ago

Description:

Errors are seen in the kafka receiver when different telemetry types are being scraped from the same topic. A receiver instance will receive data of an unexpected format (wrong telemetry type) and fail to parse. This is expected and should be documented.
