Is it possible to cache reference file in kafka

[#1]

I have a reference file containing around 100 records. This reference file can be change depending on the business requirements.

My question is should i store it on kafka inside its node or should i store it on other database like hbase?

Process:

1. Send reference file to kafka and put it on a topic (reference-topic)

2. A kafka consumer will get reference-topic and join it to a customer profile.
