+
+`Kafka <https://kafka.apache.org/intro>`_ is a distributed stream processing
+system. It forms the central component of Monasca and in an OpenStack context
+can also be used as an experimental messaging backend in `Oslo messaging
+<https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.messaging/latest/admin/kafka.html>`_.

+Kafka
+~~~~~
+
+A spinning disk array is normally sufficient for Kafka. The data directory
+defaults to a docker volume, ``kafka``. Since it can use a lot of disk space,
+you may wish to store the data on a dedicated device. This can be achieved by
+setting ``kafka_datadir_volume`` in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    kafka_datadir_volume: /mnt/spinning_array/kafka/

+    Adds a new variable, ``kafka_datadir_volume``. This allows you to control
+    where the Kafka data is stored. Generally you will want this to be a
+    spinning disk, or an array of spinning disks.
