             Summary: Connect JsonConverter swallow null value on optional 
filed which has default value
                 Key: KAFKA-8713
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8713
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 2.3.0, 2.2.0, 2.1.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.0
            Reporter: Cheng Pan


Class JsonConverter line: 582
{code:java}
    private static JsonNode convertToJson(Schema schema, Object logicalValue) {
        if (logicalValue == null) {
            if (schema == null) // Any schema is valid and we don't have a 
default, so treat this as an optional schema
                return null;
            if (schema.defaultValue() != null)
                return convertToJson(schema, schema.defaultValue());
            if (schema.isOptional())
                return JsonNodeFactory.instance.nullNode();
            throw new DataException("Conversion error: null value for field 
that is required and has no default value");
        }
        ....
    }
{code}

h1.The Excepted:

Value `null` is valid for an optional filed, even through the filed has a 
default value.
 Only when field is required, the converter return default value fallback when 
value is `null`.

h1.The Current:

Always return default value if `null` was given.


h1. Addition:

I'm not sure if the current behavior is the exactly expected, but at least on 
MySQL, a table  define as 
{code:sql}
create table t1 {
   name varchar(40) not null,
   create_time datetime default '1999-01-01 11:11:11' null,
   update_time datetime default '1999-01-01 11:11:11' null,
}
{code}

Just insert a record:

{code:sql}
INSERT INTO `t1` (`name`,  `update_time`) VALUES ('kafka', null);
{code}

The result is:

{code:json}
{
    "name": "kafka",
    "create_time": "1999-01-01 11:11:11",
    "update_time": null
}
{code}

But when I use debezium pull binlog and send the record to Kafka with 
JsonConverter, the result changed to:

{code:json}
{
    "name": "kafka",
    "create_time": "1999-01-01 11:11:11",
    "update_time": "1999-01-01 11:11:11"
}
{code}
