**Issue Evaluation** Category: `question` | Status: **Answered** RocketMQ Connect is designed for streaming data between heterogeneous systems, but the data processing model varies by connector: 1. **Current connector data model** — Connectors like SFTP and Cassandra use specialized source/sink task implementations that handle data in connector-specific formats. Not all connectors support arbitrary source-to-sink routing (e.g., Redis source → SFTP sink) because each connector defines its own data transformation logic. 2. **S3 support** — S3 connector support is tracked in separate issues (#487). The S3 connector would need its own source/sink task implementation to handle object storage semantics. For generic data routing between arbitrary systems, you may want to follow the [RIP (RocketMQ Improvement Proposal) process](https://github.com/apache/rocketmq/wiki/RocketMQ-Improvement-Proposal) to propose a unified data transformation layer. --- *Automated evaluation by @RockteMQ-AI* -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
