    I just looked into the source code and found the below constructor is used to instantiate an object of ProducerRecord class which does not take 'Header' as parameter:
    ProducerRecord(String topic, V value)

    Create a record with no key

    If the headers are required to be passed then another constructor of this class is required to be used as shown below:

    ProducerRecord(String topic, Integer partition, K key, V value, Iterable<Header> headers)

    Creates a record to be sent to a specified topic and partition

    Please let us know - if there is any plan to upgrade it in future to accept headers or we need to extend it for our custom need

    Hello Appian AppMarket Team,

    Can I get answer on my earlier question: 

    We are using this plugin to post messages to Kafka Topic. We would like to also send headers with the message. How can we do that using this plugin. We are using SASL Mechanism as 'PLAIN'.

    Thanks in Advance.
