> Key: KAFKA-12170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12170
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0, 2.6.1
> Reporter: Sven Erik Knop
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.7.1
>
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> Cast operation on a field of type bytes to a string returns the default
> ByteBuffer representation, not the content. For example, a field called
> "payload" of type bytes transformed in this way:
> payload:string
> Returns the result
> "payload":\{"string":"java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=4 cap=4]"}
> We propose instead to represent the byte array as a hex string
> "payload":\{"string":"FFEEDDAABB123F"}
