Manasvi Gupta reassigned KAFKA-4917: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Manasvi Gupta > 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 > Assignee: Manasvi Gupta > Labels: newbie > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
