MetadataAuditEvent (MAE) Consumer Job

MAE Consumer is a Kafka Streams job. Its main function is to listen MetadataAuditEvent Kafka topic for messages and process those messages using index builders. Index builders create search document model by processing MAE and then these documents are indexed into Elasticsearch. So, this job is providing us a near-realtime search index update.
