Randall Hauch created KAFKA-6755:
------------------------------------
Summary: MaskField SMT should optionally take a literal value to
use instead of using null
Key: KAFKA-6755
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6755
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
Reporter: Randall Hauch
The existing {{org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.MaskField}} SMT always uses
the null value for the type of field. It'd be nice to *optionally* be able to
specify a literal value for the type, where the SMT would convert the literal
string value in the configuration to the desired type (using the new {{Values}}
methods).
Use cases: mask out the IP address, or SSN, or other personally identifiable
information (PII).
Since this changes the API, and thus will require a KIP.
