Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-4917:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Our built-in file connector can't work with our built-in
SMT
Key: KAFKA-4917
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4917
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Gwen Shapira
Our built-in file connector always returns STRING schema.
All our transformations expect either STRUCT (if connectors return schema) or a
MAP (schemaless).
I understand why (how do you add a field to a STRING?), but it also means that
you can't have an example for SMT that works with Apache Kafka out of the box.
Which makes documentation kind of painful.
Either we modify the file connector or we modify the SMTs to deal with STRING
better, but something gotta change.
