Package org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.predicates

Interface Predicate<R extends ConnectRecord<R>>

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.

Kafka Connect may discover implementations of this interface using the Java ServiceLoader mechanism. To support this, implementations of this interface should also contain a service provider configuration file in META-INF/services/org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.predicates.Predicate.
