node-rdkafka compile in centos 7 failed for not supporting c++14

[yunnysunny]

The -std=c++14 flag is not supported on GCC 4.8, which is the version used by centos 7. In other words, the compile will be failed in centos 7. See more on this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31965413/compile-c14-code-with-g .

GCC 4.8 is an ancient release. It would make more sense to use newer GCC instead of spending time on fixing the library.

I think this is a breaking change, and we need to mention it as a requirement in our readme document.

Hi, Is there a way to get node-rdkafka working on centos 7 without upgrading g++?
