Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-6755:
--------------------------------------
I've reviewed the PR, and it's in great shape. Time to create the KIP. :-D
First, I don't see an account in the Apache wiki, so create an account. See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/signup.action
Once that's done, I'll give you normal edit privileges for the wiki.
Finally, you can then create a KIP following the procedure on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals,
focusing on the public-facing API and behavioral changes. Happy to review it
before you publish it, or we can just discuss on the KIP discussion email
thread that you'll create.
Let me know if you have any questions, and once you have a wiki account.

> Key: KAFKA-6755
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/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
> Remaining 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.
