Kafka data stores now support message headers and keys
The Kafka data stores have been enhanced to provide access to message headers and key values. You can now use the options kafka_message_headers and kafka_message_key to retrieve this information. The message headers are returned as a JSON-formatted string, with each header value base64 encoded. This enables you to attach and use metadata for improved message routing, traceability, and processing.
The user interface now includes a second checkbox to access the Kafka message key, which generates the field kafka_original_key of type String. The SQL generated by the interface automatically includes these new fields.
