------------------------------------
Summary: Support BigInteger data type
Key: KAFKA-7199
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7199
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Jiri Pechanec
When a data are sourced from database to the Connect it is possible that
`unsigned long` or larger integer values need to be represented. Currently only
{{BigDecimal}} or {{String}} are types that could be used. Unfortunately in
this case the semantic information about the value being the integer one is
lost. We thus propose to introduce {{BigInteger}} logical datattype as a
conterpart to the {{BigDecimal}}.
Would there be an interest in contribution from our side?
