--------------------------------------------
Summary: Support per-connector converters
Key: KAFKA-3845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3845
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 0.10.1.0
While good for default configuration and reducing the total configuration the
user needs to do, it's inconvenient requiring that all connectors on a cluster
need to use the same converter. It's definitely a good idea to stay consistent,
but occasionally you may need a special converters, e.g. one source of data
happens to come in JSON despite you standardizing on Avro.
Note that these configs are connector-level in the sense that the entire
connector should use a single converter type, but since converters are used by
tasks the config needs to be automatically propagated to tasks.
This is effectively public API change as it is adding a built-in config for
connectors/tasks, so this probably requires a KIP.
