             Summary: Add knowledge of sign to numeric schema types
                 Key: KAFKA-4404
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4404
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
            Reporter: Andy Bryant
            Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
            Priority: Minor


For KafkaConnect schemas there is currently no concept of whether a numeric 
field is signed or unsigned. 

Add an additional `signed` attribute (like optional) or make it explicit that 
numeric types must be signed.
You could encode this as a parameter on the schema but this would not be 
standard across all connectors.
