Hi Leonard and Martijn, thanks for looking into this. I ran into the issue on Flink 1.14.4 (with the matching flink-sql-connector-kafka based on Scala 2.11), but reproduced the problem today in 1.15.0 (again with the matching flink-sql-connector-kafka). I haven't used older versions than 1.14.4.
These following debezium-json messages illustrate the problem; note that they're published without schema and that they're all produced to Kafka with this message key: {"id":1} These are the message values; first for an INSERT: {"before":null,"after":{"id":1,"done":false,"name":"Initial value"},"source":{"version":"1.9.2.Final","connector":"sqlserver","name":"mssql","ts_ms":1652104409527,"snapshot":"false","db":"todo","sequence":null,"schema":"dbo","table":"todo_list","change_lsn":"00000025:00000528:001c","commit_lsn":"00000025:00000528:001d","event_serial_no":1},"op":"c","ts_ms":1652104413976,"transaction":null} Then an UPDATE on the text field: {"before":{"id":1,"done":false,"name":"Initial value"},"after":{"id":1,"done":false,"name":"Updated #1"},"source":{"version":"1.9.2.Final","connector":"sqlserver","name":"mssql","ts_ms":1652104502837,"snapshot":"false","db":"todo","sequence":null,"schema":"dbo","table":"todo_list","change_lsn":"00000025:000005d8:0002","commit_lsn":"00000025:000005d8:0003","event_serial_no":2},"op":"u","ts_ms":1652104503260,"transaction":null} Then an UPDATE on a boolean field -- this causes a duplicated row for id=1: {"before":{"id":1,"done":false,"name":""},"after":{"id":1,"done":true,"name":"Updated #1"},"source":{"version":"1.9.2.Final","connector":"sqlserver","name":"mssql","ts_ms":1652104507080,"snapshot":"false","db":"todo","sequence":null,"schema":"dbo","table":"todo_list","change_lsn":"00000025:000005f0:0002","commit_lsn":"00000025:000005f0:0003","event_serial_no":2},"op":"u","ts_ms":1652104508248,"transaction":null} Another UPDATE on the text field -- this causes an update the of text field in the second instance of the id=1 row: {"before":{"id":1,"done":true,"name":"Updated #1"},"after":{"id":1,"done":true,"name":"Updated #2"},"source":{"version":"1.9.2.Final","connector":"sqlserver","name":"mssql","ts_ms":1652104511600,"snapshot":"false","db":"todo","sequence":null,"schema":"dbo","table":"todo_list","change_lsn":"00000025:00000608:0002","commit_lsn":"00000025:00000608:0003","event_serial_no":2},"op":"u","ts_ms":1652104513257,"transaction":null} And finally a DELETE -- this causes the deletion of the second row with id=1, but not the first: {"before":{"id":1,"done":true,"name":"Updated #2"},"after":null,"source":{"version":"1.9.2.Final","connector":"sqlserver","name":"mssql","ts_ms":1652104514893,"snapshot":"false","db":"todo","sequence":null,"schema":"dbo","table":"todo_list","change_lsn":"00000025:00000620:0002","commit_lsn":"00000025:00000620:0005","event_serial_no":1},"op":"d","ts_ms":1652104518749,"transaction":null} (Debezium then produces a tombstone record with the same key `{"id":1}` and value `null`.) For reference, this is the CREATE TABLE statement for the source connector:: CREATE TABLE todo_list ( id BIGINT, done BOOLEAN, name STRING ) WITH ( 'connector'='kafka', 'topic'='mssql.dbo.todo_list', 'properties.bootstrap.servers'='10.88.10.10:9092', 'properties.group.id'='flinksql-todo-list', 'scan.startup.mode'='earliest-offset', 'key.format'='json', 'key.fields'='id', 'value.format'='debezium-json', 'value.debezium-json.schema-include'='false', 'value.fields-include'='EXCEPT_KEY' ); Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to clear this up.
