Description

In the latest node-rdkafka, I see that the C++ implementation of the producer does not implement or call transaction-related methods, and therefore the JavaScript side of things doesn't have any transaction-related methods. It would be nice if the library supported these, as librdkafka does under the hood.

Research direction

Start with the C++ producer implementation and trace how its capabilities are exposed on the JavaScript side. Compare the missing transaction-related methods with the transaction support provided by librdkafka. Done means the library exposes and supports Kafka producer transactions end to end, with behavior verified against the underlying librdkafka capability.
