Option to set timeout for Kafka client connection

Description

We would like to set an option of Kafka timeout. There are use-cases where the Kafka brokers are heavily utilized and metrics visibility is impacted due to connection timed out

@weeco Let me know what do you think, my team can support and implement this

@avivgold098 If you implement a configurable timeout for all Kafka requests, could you elaborate how that helps with metrics visibility? Even if we have a client sided request timeout, these requests would still be processed by the brokers.
