Specifying a partition key

When invoking the Kafka binding, its possible to provide an optional partition key by using the metadata section in the request body.

The field name is partitionKey.

Example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/bindings/myKafka \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "data": {
          "message": "Hi"
        },
        "metadata": {
          "partitionKey": "key1"
        },
        "operation": "create"
      }'
