 * This is the base implementation of the Kafka input operator with a single output port,

 * Subclasses should implement the methods which convert Kafka messages to tuples.

 * Ports:<br>
 * <b>Input</b>: No input port<br>
 * <b>Output</b>: Have only one output port<br>
 * <br>
 * Properties:<br>
 * None<br>
 * <br>
 * Compile time checks:<br>
 * Class derived from this has to implement the abstract method getTuple() <br>

 * None<br>

 * Benchmarks:<br>
 * TBD<br>
