You have to either 1) use one of the Confluent serializers <https://docs.confluent.io/current/schema-registry/serdes-develop/index.html#> when you publish to the topic, so that the schema (or reference to it) is included, or 2) write and use a custom converter <https://kafka.apache.org/25/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/connect/storage/Converter.html> that knows about the data schema and can take the kafka record value and convert it into a kafka connect record (by implementing the toConnectData converter method), which is what the sink connectors are driven from.
See https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/concepts.html#converters Chris On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 6:59 AM vishnu murali <vishnumurali9...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Guys, > > I am *using Apache **2.5 *not confluent. > > i am trying to send data from topic to database using jdbc sink connector. > > we need to send that data with the appropriate schema also. > > i am *not using confluent version* of kafka. > > so can anyone explain how can i do this ? >
