> I found myself wanting to build a converter that stored additional type
> information within headers. The converter interface does not allow a
> developer to access to the headers in a Converter. I'm not suggesting that we
> change the method for serializing them, rather that
> *org.apache.kafka.connect.header.Headers* be passed in for *fromConnectData*
> and *toConnectData*. For example something like this.
> {code:java}
> import org.apache.kafka.connect.data.Schema;
> import org.apache.kafka.connect.data.SchemaAndValue;
> import org.apache.kafka.connect.header.Headers;
> import org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.Converter;
> public interface Converter {
> default byte[] fromConnectData(String topic, Headers headers, Schema
> schema, Object object) {
> return fromConnectData(topic, schema, object);
> }
> default SchemaAndValue toConnectData(String topic, Headers headers, byte[]
> payload) {
> return toConnectData(topic, payload);
> }
> void configure(Map<String, ?> var1, boolean var2);
> byte[] fromConnectData(String var1, Schema var2, Object var3);
> SchemaAndValue toConnectData(String var1, byte[] var2);
> }
> {code}
> This would be a similar approach to what was already done with
> ExtendedDeserializer and ExtendedSerializer in the Kafka client.
