Description:
------------
When producing an encoded JSON object that contains an integer field, the consumer always receives the field as string.

Producer: {"id":1639}
Consumer: {"id":"1639"}

Test script:
---------------
$message = '{"id":1639}';

$producer = new RdKafka\Producer();
$topic = $producer->newTopic('myTopic');
$topic->produce(RD_KAFKA_PARTITION_UA, 0, $message);

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Hi - the script you provided does not run, https://3v4l.org/XUMYj . It gives the error Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'RdKafka\Producer' not found in /in/XUMYj:5

Running json_decode simply as you described it gives: https://3v4l.org/2VPX6 which appears to give an int.

You might find reading this http://sscce.org/ helpful as a guide on how to write a self-contained reproduce case.

This is about https://pecl.php.net/package/rdkafka.

Serializing and deserializing in PHP works well, yes.
But after processing the serialized JSON object with the Kafka producer and reading the message in a consumer written in Java, the int field has been transformed into a string - before deserializing.

Is this still an issue with latest rdkafka and any of the actively
supported PHP versions[1]?  If so, you may be better off to report
that as issue on the Github repo[2].
