Hi All, I would like to start a discussion about adding new functionality to MaskField SMT. The existing implementation allows to mask out any field value with the null equivalent of the field type.
I suggest to add a possibility to provide a literal replacement for the field. This way you can mask out any PII info (IP, SSN etc.) with any custom replacement. It is a short KIP which does not require major changes, but could help to make this transformation more useful for the client. The KIP is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-437%3A+Custom+replacement+for+MaskField+SMT I would be glad to receive any feedback on this KIP. Kind Regards, Valeria
