Hi, I notice that inlong-sort mysql-cdc connector[1] is almost copied from Flink CDC mysql connector[2].
With a short discussion with Charles I learned that InLong developers added metadata supports and migration of a whole database. It could be better to see if InLong community can contribute such supports back to Flink CDC upstream, and avoid maintaining a whole fork as well as periodically catch up upstream updates. Maintainers of Flink CDC projects are in cc (Leonard & Jark). Perhaps we can start with creating an issue on Flink CDC repo to describe the case, contribute back the improvements, and switch dependency to the upstream. Best, tison.
