Upgrade the ascoltatori kafka broker to kafka-node 4.0.0

[karthicks]

It appears that, currently, KafkaAscoltatore depends on an older ~0.5.8 version of kafka-node, and uses deprecated methods thereof, such as kafka.Client. Would it be possible to upgrade to kafka-node 4.0.0, and use the recommended kafka.KafkaClient instead, which connects directly to the kafka brokers, as opposed to going through zookeeper?

facing this issue as well. Doesn't look like this library is up to date w/ kafka-node

This issue also prevents snappy support for node 12.

@vicary we built a PubSub wrapper around kafka-node if you're using Kafka as your backing/broker. Check out: https://github.com/NeuCleans/kafka-pub-sub

@user1m This is in fact an indirect dependency of serverless-appsync-offline, need this resolved to run unit tests in our CI pipelines.
