             Summary: Add schema info to output of Kafka sink  
                 Key: FLINK-36611
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-36611
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Flink CDC
    Affects Versions: cdc-3.3.0
            Reporter: LvYanquan
             Fix For: cdc-3.3.0


Currently, the output of Kafka sink in debezium format looks like this:
{code:java}
{
  "before": {
    "id": 4,
    "name": "John",
    "address": "New York",
    "phone_number": "2222",
    "age": 12
  },
  "after": {
    "id": 4,
    "name": "John",
    "address": "New York",
    "phone_number": "1234",
    "age": 12
  },
  "op": "u",
  "source": {
    "db": null,
    "table": "customers"
  }
} {code}
It contains record data with full before/after and db info, but schema info 
wasn't included. 

However, In some scenarios, we need this information to determine the type of 
data. For example, Paimon's Kafka CDC source requires this type information, 
otherwise all types are considered String, refer to 
[https://paimon.apache.org/docs/0.9/flink/cdc-ingestion/kafka-cdc/#supported-formats.]

Considering that this will increase the data load, I suggest adding a parameter 
to configure whether to enable it.
