+The `druid-kafka-extraction-namespace` extension includes all the functionality of `druid-lookups-cached-global`.
+Do not load both extensions, but choose the extension that best suits your needs:
+- `druid-kafka-extraction-namespace` if you need Kafka lookup functionality
+- `druid-lookups-cached-global` if you only want global cached lookup functionality
 
 If you need updates to populate as promptly as possible, it is possible to plug into a Kafka topic whose key is the old value and message is the desired new value (both in UTF-8) as a LookupExtractorFactory.
