[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-4917) Our built-in file connector can't work with our built-in SMT

Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-4917:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Our built-in file connector can't work with our built-in SMT
                 Key: KAFKA-4917
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4917
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
            Reporter: Gwen Shapira


Our built-in file connector always returns STRING schema.

All our transformations expect either STRUCT (if connectors return schema) or a MAP (schemaless). 

I understand why (how do you add a field to a STRING?), but it also means that you can't have an example for SMT that works with Apache Kafka out of the box. Which makes documentation kind of painful.

Either we modify the file connector or we modify the SMTs to deal with STRING better, but something gotta change.
