Predicate (kafka 2.8.1 API)

Type Parameters:

R - The type of record.

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Configurable
```
public interface Predicate<R extends ConnectRecord<R>>
extends Configurable, AutoCloseable
```
A predicate on records. Predicates can be used to conditionally apply a Transformation by configuring the transformation's predicate (and negate) configuration parameters. In particular, the Filter transformation can be conditionally applied in order to filter certain records from further processing.
Implementations of this interface must be public and have a public constructor with no parameters.
