Reading the latest documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-kafka.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-kafka.html), I do not understand the matrix. No mention of logstash 6.x, it seems a copy-paste of kibana 5.x !  
So, is is possible to read Kafka 0.9 with logstash 6.1 ?  
thanks for your answer
