> I am trying to use the newly released Kafka Connect that supports headers by using the standalone connector to write to a text file (so in this case I am only using the sink component)
> I am sadly greeted by a NullPointerException :
> {noformat}
> ERROR WorkerSinkTask{id=local-file-sink-0} Task threw an uncaught and unrecoverable exception (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.WorkerTask:172)

> I launched zookeeper and kafka 1.1.0 locally and sent a ProducerRecord[String, Array[Byte]] using a KafkaProducer[String, Array[Byte]] with a header that has a key and value.
> I can read the record with a console consumer as well as using a KafkaConsumer (where in this case I can see the content of the header of the record I sent previously) so no problem here.
> I only made two changes to the kafka configuration:
>      - I used the StringConverter for the key and the ByteArrayConverter for the value. 
>      - I also changed the topic where the sink would connect to.
> If I forgot something please tell me so as it is the first time I am creating an issue on Jira.
