------------------------------------------
Hi [~rhauch], if it still needed to be implemented, I will work on it, ok?
> MaskField SMT should optionally take a literal value to use instead of using
> null

> Key: KAFKA-6755

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
> Reporter: Randall Hauch
> Assignee: Valeria Vasylieva
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip, newbie
> Original Estimate: 8h

> The existing {{org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.MaskField}} SMT always
> uses the null value for the type of field. It'd be nice to *optionally* be
> able to specify a literal value for the type, where the SMT would convert the
> literal string value in the configuration to the desired type (using the new
> {{Values}} methods).
> Use cases: mask out the IP address, or SSN, or other personally identifiable
> information (PII).
> Since this changes the API, and thus will require a KIP.
