Add statistics JSON parsing feature #157
Description
Currently the API exposes the statistics callback from rdkafka and provides the full JSON string. As far as I could see, there is no function to parse this into a structured representation. It would be nice to have e.g. an aeson parser for the statistics json.
I am going to implement one for myself anyway to monitor consumer lag, but I was wondering if you would be interested in a PR? Personally I am a bit torn if it should be added to this library. It feels like crucial functionality for using Kafka in production, on the other hand aeson is not a terribly light-weight dependency....
