Gunnar Morling commented on KAFKA-8523:
---------------------------------------
Yes, I was arriving at pretty much the same conclusion; that said: is an option
even needed: I've come to think that a tombstone should remain just that, a
tombstone, i.e. I don't see a good reason to inject any value into a tombstone
really; after all, it has specific semantics -- enabling compaction -- which
shouldn't be altered. So I would suggest I simply update my PR so that it
passes on tombstones unmodified and that should be good enought. WDYT?
> InsertField transformation fails when encountering tombstone event

> Key: KAFKA-8523

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Reporter: Gunnar Morling
> Priority: Major
>
> When applying the {{InsertField}} transformation to a tombstone event, an
> exception is raised:
> {code}
> org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.DataException: Only Map objects supported in
> absence of schema for [field insertion], found: null
> at
> org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.util.Requirements.requireMap(Requirements.java:38)
> at
> org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.InsertField.applySchemaless(InsertField.java:138)
> at
> org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.InsertField.apply(InsertField.java:131)
> at
> org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.InsertFieldTest.tombstone(InsertFieldTest.java:128)
> {code}
> AFAICS, the transform can still be made working in in this case by simply
> building up a new value map from scratch.
