[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-12305) Flatten SMT fails on arrays

["Chris Egerton (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12305?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chris Egerton updated KAFKA-12305:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The {{Flatten}} SMT fails for array types. A sophisticated approach that tries to flatten arrays might be desirable in some cases, and may have been punted during the early design phase of the transform, but in the interim, it's probably not worth it to make array data and the SMT mutually exclusive.

A naive approach that preserves arrays as-are and doesn't attempt to flatten them seems fair for now.
