Enhancement to IBM MQ Connector JSON record builder to include schema

Opening this idea for IBM MQ Connector to include record key/value schema for JSON payloads. This can either be created under new Record builder or maybe an enhancement to the existing JSON record builder. 

This will allow for the following:

  • Allow an option to provide schema as part of writing the record to Kafka with JsonConverter (key/value.converter.schemas.enable)
  • Allow the use of AVRO converters (ex. using either Apicurio Avro / Confluent Avro converters) which requires the Connect record to have an KeySchema / ValueSchema 
  • Allow validation of the JSON payload before writing the record to Kafka

Some ideas for the requirements:

  1. A way to configure the JSON schema by including an inline or file path config in the connector configuration.
  2. A configuration to enable JSON schema validation against the payload.
  3. Handle any invalid payload to be sent to DLQ if enabled.
