---------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for custom serializer in Kafka Sink
Key: FLUME-2721
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2721
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.6.0
Reporter: Benjamin Fiorini
In 1.6.0, the Kafka sink just sends the content of the body. It would be really
cool to be able to have a custom serializer.
My use case is that I'd like to send some headers as well, or better send the
event serialized in JSON: {"headers":{...},"body":"..."}. There could be: body
serializer (current behaviour) and JSON serializer.
Will try to submit a patch soon if this makes sense.
