Review comment:
       I think the evolution should not be decided by connector, instead it 
should be decided by the broker configuration. The reason is , most of the 
cases whether the evolution should be enabled is coupled with the broker 
configuration, . Adding configuration in the source connector could happen the 
following
   1. Connector enabled evolution, but broker disabled
   2. Connector disabled evolution , but broker enabled (and user might expect 
the connector to support evolution automatically)
   
   So I feel like the source connector schema evolution should not be 
configurable.
