Is this understanding correct? If so, the `schema.enable` setting might be confusing, as the same flag has completely different meanings for the source and sink connectors ########## connect/json/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/json/JsonConverter.java: ########## @@ -340,13 +351,16 @@ public SchemaAndValue toConnectData(String topic, byte[] value) { throw new DataException("Converting byte[] to Kafka Connect data failed due to serialization error: ", e); } - if (config.schemasEnabled() && (!jsonValue.isObject() || jsonValue.size() != 2 || !jsonValue.has(JsonSchema.ENVELOPE_SCHEMA_FIELD_NAME) || !jsonValue.has(JsonSchema.ENVELOPE_PAYLOAD_FIELD_NAME))) - throw new DataException("JsonConverter with schemas.enable requires \"schema\" and \"payload\" fields and may not contain additional fields." + + if (config.schemasEnabled()) { + if (schema != null) { Review Comment: Yes your understanding is right , we have extended the purpose of the schema.enable flag by adding an additional capability, and I don’t believe this will cause significant confusion.
