sjwoodman opened a new issue #188: URL: https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/issues/188
I am trying to connect Telegram to Kafka using the Telegram Source Connector. It works but the messages put onto the Kafka topic are the `toString()` representation of the Telegram message, i.e. `IncomingMessage{messageId=20, date=2020-05-05T07:53:42Z,...}, text='test 13',...}`. These are hard to parse from another application perspective and so I would like to transform them before they are put onto the Kafka topic. I believe that using the transforms below should work but they do not have an effect on the messages put onto the Kafka topic. ``` transforms: xxx transforms.xxx.type: org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.transforms.CamelTypeConverterTransform$Value target.type: String.class ``` I'm using Strimzi 0.17 with the KafkaConnector Operator managing the connectors. Here are the CRs I'm using the bring up the cluster and configure the connector ``` apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1 kind: KafkaConnect metadata: name: my-connect-cluster annotations: strimzi.io/use-connector-resources: "true" spec: image: sjwoodman/camel-kafkaconnect replicas: 1 bootstrapServers: my-cluster-kafka-bootstrap:9093 tls: trustedCertificates: - secretName: my-cluster-cluster-ca-cert certificate: ca.crt config: config.storage.replication.factor: 1 offset.storage.replication.factor: 1 status.storage.replication.factor: 1 config.providers: file config.providers.file.class: org.apache.kafka.common.config.provider.FileConfigProvider externalConfiguration: volumes: - name: connector-config secret: secretName: telegram-credentials ``` ``` apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1alpha1 kind: KafkaConnector metadata: name: telegram-connector labels: strimzi.io/cluster: my-connect-cluster spec: class: org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.CamelSourceConnector tasksMax: 1 config: key.converter: org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter value.converter: org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter transforms: xxx transforms.xxx.type: org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.transforms.CamelTypeConverterTransform$Value target.type: String.class camel.source.kafka.topic: telegram-topic camel.source.url: telegram:bots camel.component.telegram.authorizationToken: ${file:/opt/kafka/external-configuration/connector-config/telegram.properties:token} ``` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
