Randall Hauch created KAFKA-3832: ------------------------------------ Summary: Kafka Connect's JSON Converter never outputs a null value Key: KAFKA-3832 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3832 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: KafkaConnect Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1 Reporter: Randall Hauch Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Kafka Connect's JSON Converter will never output a null value when {{enableSchemas=true}}. This means that when a connector outputs a {{SourceRecord}} with a null value, the JSON Converter will always produce a message value with: {code:json} { "schema": null, "payload": null } {code} And, this means that while Kafka log compaction will always be able to remove earlier messages with the same key, log compaction will never remove _all_ of the messages with the same key. The JSON Connector's {{fromConnectData(...)}} should always return null when it is supplied a null value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
