Varun Yeligar created FLINK-25106: ------------------------------------- Summary: Support tombstone messages in FLINK's "kafka" connector Key: FLINK-25106 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25106 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: API / Core Reporter: Varun Yeligar
Currently, FLINK's "kafka" connector ignores all the tombstone messages, whereas the "upsert-kafka" connector supports tombstone messages and sets the type of the row to RowKind.DELETE ([Code Link|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/table/DynamicKafkaDeserializationSchema.java#L126]). I wanted to know if it is feasible to support tombstone messages in "kafka" connector by setting all the value fields to NULL and the RowKind to DELETE. I could also raise a PR with the respective changes if required. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
