------------------------------------------
Summary: Promote Kafka Connect data package as a dedicated module
Key: KAFKA-18299
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18299
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Wish
Components: connect
Reporter: Mario Fiore Vitale
The current implementation restricts the usage of data classes, which prevents
broader adoption and integration. By moving these classes to a separate module,
we can achieve:
* *More Flexible for Developers*
*
** Developers can now use these data classes outside of Kafka Connect
** It makes it easier to create consistent data models across different
applications
* *Cleaner Project Structure*
*
** Allows independent versioning of data format components
** Creates a clearer separation of different parts of the Kafka ecosystem
* *Become standard for other Tools and Frameworks*
*
** It makes it easier for third-party tools to work with Kafka's data models
** Supports a more generic data format
** Helps different streaming platforms work together more smoothly
