> Kafka Connect's JSON Converter will never output a null value when {{enableSchemas=true}}. This means that when a connector outputs a {{SourceRecord}} with a null value, the JSON Converter will always produce a message value with:
> {code:json}
> {
>   "schema": null,
>   "payload": null
> }
> {code}
> And, this means that while Kafka log compaction will always be able to remove earlier messages with the same key, log compaction will never remove _all_ of the messages with the same key. 
> The JSON Connector's {{fromConnectData(...)}} should always return null when it is supplied a null value.
