The node-rdkafka API accepts Buffers or strings in KafkaHeaders (in line with the librdkafka API), but was converting all Header Values to strings. You can test this by attempting to send a Header value such a Buffer generated from a Uint8 array with values above 127 or including 0s. The first 0 encountered will be treated as a null termination, and bytes above 127 will be spread across multiple array entries, changing the length and values of the uint8 array.
