FlinkKafkaProducer011 and Flink 1.4.0 Kafka docs

[Elias Levy]

Looks like the Flink Kafka connector page, in the Producer section, is missing a section for the new FlinkKafkaProducer011 producer.  Given that the new producer no longer has a static writeToKafkaWithTimestamps method, it would be good to add a section that specifies that you must now use DataStream.addSink.

Hi Elias,

thanks for reporting this issue.

I created FLINK-8260 [1] to extend the documentation.

Best, Fabian
