Description

I was writing some tests to verify that I am calculating my partitions, topics, keys, and values properly in my producer code and discovered that ProducerRecord does not implement equality.

This makes tests integrating kafka particularly awkward.

https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.2-beta/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/ProducerRecord.java

I can whip up a patch since this is essentially just a value object.

Thanks,
