> Support casting values with bytes schema to string
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-6684
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6684
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Reporter: Amit Sela
> Priority: Major
>
> Casting from BYTES is not supported, which means that casting LogicalTypes is
> not supported.
> This proposes to allow casting anything to a string, kind of like Java's
> {{toString()}}, such that if the object is actually a LogicalType it can be
> "serialized" as string instead of bytes+schema.
> Worst case, bytes are "casted" to whatever the {{toString()}} returns - its
> up to the user to know the data.
> This would help when using a JSON sink, or anything that's not Avro.
