Hi No there is no strict rule or something, each component can do what is most appropriate for it. Sometimes a component has options users can configure on the endpoint etc that can dictate the format, for example binary, json, pojo, xml etc.
When you say raw format from debezium what java type does it use, and is the data in some kind of structure or binary format or what?
