             Summary: JDBC Sink Connector doesn't support numerical values in 
event keys
                 Key: KAFKA-10103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10103
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
            Reporter: Jakub


Our topics contain events with numerical keys and Avro values. We're trying to 
configure a JDBC connector to export data from these topics to Oracle DB, but 
it doesn't seem to work.

If we use strings as keys everything works fine, but if we switch to Longs it 
stops working. We tried different values of _key.converter_, including 
_org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter,_ but either parsing of 
keys doesn't work, or they cannot be mapped to Oracle data type (NUMBER - this 
happens if we use _ByteArrayConverter)._ 

We also tried using transformations (CAST), but in that case we're getting 
_Cast transformation does not support casting to/from BYTES_

Please excuse if this is not a bug and there is a way to work with numerical 
keys, we just couldn't find anything about that in the documentation.
