Vitaly Rudensky commented on FLUME-2721:
----------------------------------------
I believe it make sense to use org.apache.flume.serialization.EventSerializer
as "serializer" instead of Kafka specific one.
> 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
> Attachments: FLUME-2721-0.patch

>
> 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: {code}{"headers":{...},"body":"..."}{code}. There
> could be: body serializer (current behaviour) and JSON serializer.
> Will try to submit a patch soon if this makes sense.
