Amit Sela created KAFKA-6684: -------------------------------- Summary: Support casting values with bytes schema to string Key: KAFKA-6684 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6684 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: KafkaConnect Reporter: Amit Sela
Casting from BYTES is not supported, which means that casting LogicalTypes is not supported. This proposes to allow casting anything to a string, kind of like Java's {{toString()}}, such that if the object is actually a LogicalType it can be "serialized" as string instead of bytes+schema. Worst case, bytes are "casted" to whatever the {{toString()}} returns - its up to the user to know the data. This would help when using a JSON sink, or anything that's not Avro. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
