Apache Kafka event source for local development

[ghost]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

I wish SAM CLI would add a new kafka event source to trigger a lambda function locally. The idea is to set a breakpoint in the FunctionHandler() which should be hit if I create a new message in kafka which runs in a local docker container on windows. Also it would be great if you would extend the payload generator at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-cli-command-reference-sam-local-generate-event.html

Proposal

Add a new event source type to the existing once described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-property-function-eventsource.html

Additional Details

There is already the event source type "MSK" described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-property-function-msk.html which only seems to work with AWS and not within a local environment

Given last comment, this was solved (and added to SAM Spec).

Still missing the payload generator for MSK :)
