first of all. I run a kfk.conf which I defined to read json file and output to kafka topic.  
when I run the kfk.conf , the output order is ["name" : "lili", "sex":"w", "age":"20"].  
then I kill the process. Rerun it , the output order is ["age":"20","name" : "lili", "sex":"w"].  
Oh, my God, I want it to run in the same order all the time.  
Who can tell me what I should do?
