Hi Andrew, I know a DSL seems like overkill, and I'm not attached to it by any means, but I do think it serves a vital purpose in that it allows people who don't know how or have the time to write Java code to act on data being processed by connectors.
Are you proposing that the "RecordPredicate" be another pluggable interface that users could then implement on their own? Or, would this be purely a syntactic expansion to SMT configuration with some subset of hard-coded predicates provided by the framework? I think there's value in the latter, but the former doesn't seem like it'd bring much to the table as far as users are concerned, and for developers, it is an improvement, but not a major one.
