Aiven Kafka Connect Transformations

This is a set of Kafka Connect transformations.

Transformations

See the Kafka documentation for more details about configuring transformations.

ExtractTimestamp

This transformation replaces the original record's timestamp with a value taken from the the record.

The transformation:

• expects the record value to be either a STRUCT or a MAP;
• expects it to have a specified field;
• expects the value of the field to be either INT64 or org.apache.kafka.connect.data.Timestamp and not be null.

Exists in one variant:

• io.aiven.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractTimestamp$Value - works on values.

The transformation defines the following configurations:

• field.name - The name of the field which should be used as the new timestamp. Cannot be null or empty.

Here's an example of this transformation configuration:

transforms=ExtractTimestampFromValueField
transforms.ExtractTimestampFromValueField.field.name=inner_field_name

ExtractTopic

This transformation extracts a string value from the record and use it as the topic name.

The transformation can use either the whole key or value (in this case, it must have INT8, INT16, INT32, INT64, FLOAT32, FLOAT32, BOOLEAN, or STRING type) or a field in them (in this case, it must have STRUCT type and the field's value must be INT8, INT16, INT32, INT64, FLOAT32, FLOAT32, BOOLEAN, or STRING).

Exists in two variants:

• io.aiven.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractTopic$Key - works on keys;
• io.aiven.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractTopic$Value - works on values.

The transformation defines the following configurations:

• field.name - The name of the field which should be used as the topic name. If null or empty, the entire key or value is used (and assumed to be a string). By default is null.
• skip.missing.or.null - In case the source of the new topic name is null or missing, should a record be silently passed without transformation. By default is false.

Here is an example of this transformation configuration:

transforms=ExtractTopicFromValueField
transforms.ExtractTopicFromValueField.type=io.aiven.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractTopic$Value
transforms.ExtractTopicFromValueField.field.name=inner_field_name

TombstoneHandler

This transformation manages tombstone records, i.e. records with the entire value field being null.

The transformation defines the following configurations:

• behavior - The action the transformation must perform when encounter a tombstone record. The supported values are:
  • drop_silent - silently drop tombstone records.
  • drop_warn - drop tombstone records and log at WARN level.
  • fail - fail with DataException.

Here is an example of this transformation configuration:

transforms=TombstoneHandler
transforms.TombstoneHandler.type=io.aiven.kafka.connect.transforms.TombstoneHandler
transforms.TombstoneHandler.behavior=drop_silent
