As Josh stated above, currently we have back ported the kafka driver to 
Stable/liberty https://github.com/tsecheran/oslo.messaging/pull/2 to get 
the notifications split work for Nova and Neutron in our cloud. It’s 
working fine and in early POC state, we need to still work on that pifpaf 
PR https://github.com/jd/pifpaf/pull/28 for the unit testing.
