Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-3988:
----------------------------------------------
[~pachima...@gmail.com] It's marked WONTFIX because we concluded it didn't make
much sense to – as mentioned above, KIP-174 gets rid of the ability to even
configure the internal converters. You should remove the internal.converter
settings that specify schemas.enable=true.
> KafkaConfigBackingStore assumes configs will be stored as schemaless maps

> Key: KAFKA-3988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3988
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
> Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
> Priority: Major
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h

> If you use an internal key/value converter that drops schema information (as
> is the default in the config files we provide since we use JsonConverter with
> schemas.enable=false), the schemas we use that are structs get converted to
> maps since we don't know the structure to decode them to. Because our tests
> run with these settings, we haven't validated that the code works if schemas
> are preserved.
> When they are preserved, we'll hit an error message like this
> {quote}
> [2016-07-25 07:36:34,828] ERROR Found connector configuration
> (connector-test-mysql-jdbc) in wrong format: class
> org.apache.kafka.connect.data.Struct
> (org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.KafkaConfigBackingStore:498)
> {quote}
> because the code currently checks that it is working with a map. We should
> actually be checking for either a Struct or a Map. This same problem probably
> affects a couple of other types of data in the same class as Connector
> configs, Task configs, Connect task lists, and target states are all Structs.
