------------------------------------------------------------------
Kafka has its own serializers though I am not sure how that exactly works,
since the type of our {{KeyedMessage}} instances are hard-coded, and they, I
believe, have to match what the serializer expects? I'd rather have those
serializers take care of it than add an additional layer.

> Add support for custom serializer in Kafka Sink

> Key: FLUME-2721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2721
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.6.0
> Reporter: Benjamin Fiorini
> Attachments: FLUME-2721-0.patch
>
>
> In 1.6.0, the Kafka sink just sends the content of the body. It would be
> really cool to be able to have a custom serializer.
> My use case is that I'd like to send some headers as well, or better send the
> event serialized in JSON: {code}{"headers":{...},"body":"..."}{code}. There
> could be: body serializer (current behaviour) and JSON serializer.
> Will try to submit a patch soon if this makes sense.
