I wanted to see how using kafka to consume task results would behave in comparison grpc results. In this arrangement, consumers would consume from both a 'work' and 'result' topic. workers would receive tasks via grpc 'webhooks', execute the task and publish results over kafka.
This allows consumers to not have a grpc interface which I think will make them easier to operate, and give us a centralized place to control ratelimiting and throughput to workers.
There are several code-crimes that will need to be resolved before we could take this approach any further. Most important is that Arroyo does not support consuming from multiple topics in the way I have been thinking about this.
