Hi Andrea, As I mentioned before, I think this will be very useful and I guess it will open up new use cases to have camel more appealing into the Kafka ecosystem and leveraging huge amount of components that we have into Kafka connect. I can't wait to see it donated officially into asf, I think there will be bunch of ideas that community can give in order to support this project better.
Thanks again for this!
