Java EE programming model for Apache Kafka

The CDI (Contexts and Dependency injection) programming model is a very powerful one, it does support:

• Contexts: The ability to bind the lifecycle and interactions of stateful components to well-defined but extensible lifecycle contexts
• Dependency injection: The ability to inject components into an application in a typesafe way, including the ability to choose at deployment time which implementation of a particular interface to inject CDI is intended to be a foundation for frameworks, extensions and integration with other technologies!

For our Apache Kafka integration we should leverage CDI as far as possible
