For context, we have some customers internally whose Kafka topics have string and int columns for indicating the deleted column field. Changing topic schema isn't trivial. We could use ingestion transforms but wanted to avoid that due to maintenance reasons (we generally discourage this internally due to some operational concerns). My take on this was: the `deleteRecordColumn` will be used to infer a boolean decision (whether a record is deleted or not). If the column happens to be some other type like string or int, then the usual type coercion rules can be applied. (as defined in BooleanUtils). I feel this way we can still keep the behavior intuitive and reasonable. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
