Add support for Node v16

[kirrg001]

Hi there!

We have noticed that kafka-avro@latest does not work with Node v16.

Looks like it's caused by node-rdkafka dependency, see
See Blizzard/node-rdkafka#892

Thanks,
Kate

Hi there!

I have noticed this too, does anyone knows if this is being develop or is gonna be taken care of in the near future?

Thanks,
Ernesto

Hi! I can check it

Managed to make this work on Node v16. By just updating the node-rdkafka version to 2.12.0 thru resolution in package.json:
"resolutions": { "kafka-avro/node-rdkafka": "^2.12.0" }

Hope this helps!

I tried it with npm and overrides attribute, it did not work for me, but maybe cause im using an M1 Silicon (arm)
@kirrg001 can you try this solution ?

Thanks. We are supporting a lot of npm and node versions. Right now it's not an option for us to use overrides.

hi @kirrg001 what versions are you using? I am doing some tests with version to see the best way to fix this problem with node 16
