> At present only transformations can discard records returning null. But I think sometimes it would be nice to discard processing chain after converting message. For example I have some tags shipped with a message key and I want to stop processing the message after converting its key (there are a lot of messages and I don't want to deserialize message values that I don't need).
> At the moment to do that I should disable converters and move message deserializing to the transformation chain:
> {code}
> key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter
> value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter
> transforms=proto,catalog
> transforms.proto.type=company.evo.kafka.ProtobufTransformation
> transforms.proto.key.protobuf.class=company.evo.uaprom.indexator.KeyProto$KeyMessage
> transforms.proto.value.protobuf.class=company.evo.uaprom.indexator.catalog.CompanyProto$UniversalCompanyMessage
> transforms.proto.tag=catalog
> {code}
> If [WorkerSinkTask|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/1.0.0/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/WorkerSinkTask.java#L453] checked converted values on {{null}} it would solved my problem more gracefully
