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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
