Using local environment variables with KafkaProducer node

Currently only topicName can be dynamically set using the local environment. We would like more fields to be dynamically set using the local environment like the bootstrap servers and timeout for example

    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this suggestion. Over time we have evolved the Kafka nodes to become more dynamic, with a greater array of properties configurable through a Kafka policy, and via properties files which directly influence the Kafka connection factory (for which the ACE code base utilises the Apache Java Kafka client). The addition of more local environment overrides which could be executed on a message by message basis for the KafkaProducer node seems a reasonable suggestion for enhancement. Status is updated to Future Consideration.
