             Summary: Kafka connect handling of database length checks
                 Key: KAFKA-9508
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9508
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Rahul Battacharya


Kafka connectors which interact with database specially sink connectors need to 
know how to handle field length mismatches. Most databases like oracle enforce 
field lengths but there is no way to enforce the same on Avro. We probably can 
write KSQL or stream jobs to filter out these records but the KSQL query can 
get very big and difficult to manage as there might be hundreds of fields in a 
table. An easier approach probably will be in the connect put method to filter 
out these records using the database metadata already available to the 
connector and then either discard these bad records or write them into a DLQ 
topic.
