Hi Priyanka, The issue is that connector configurations can also be submitted via the REST API as JSON objects, and if a user tries to embed a schema directly in that configuration as a string, it'll be fairly ugly. This does not apply if using a properties file (in standalone mode) or the config provider mechanism, which is why I think your testing may have missed this scenario. If you still think that's not the case, can you share the exact connector configurations you tested with, and instructions for building the JSON converter with your proposed changes (can be as simple as "check out this git branch from my repo").
