Debezium mongodb kafka connector not producing some of records in topic as it is in mongodb - mongodb

Question

In my mongodb there i have this data
mongo01:PRIMARY> db.col.find({"_id" : ObjectId("5d8777f188fef5555b")})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d8777f188fef5555b"), "attachments" : [ { "name" : "Je", "src" : "https://google.co", "type" : "image/png" } ], "tags" : [ 51, 52 ], "last_comment" : [ ], "hashtags" : [ "Je" ], "badges" : [ ], "feed_id" : "1", "company_id" : 1, "message" : "aJsm9LtK", "group_id" : "106", "feed_type" : "post", "thumbnail" : "", "group_tag" : false, "like_count" : 0, "clap_count" : 0, "comment_count" : 0, "created_by" : 520, "created_at" : "1469577278628", "updated_at" : "1469577278628", "status" : 1, "__v" : 0 }
mongo01:PRIMARY> db.col.find({"_id" : ObjectId("5d285b4554e3b584bf97759")})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d285b4554e3b584bf97759"), "attachments" : [ ], "tags" : [ ], "last_comment" : [ ], "company_id" : 1, "group_id" : "00e35289", "feed_type" : "post", "group_tag" : false, "status" : 1, "feed_id" : "3dc44", "thumbnail" : "{}", "message" : "s2np1HYrPuFF", "created_by" : 1, "html_content" : "", "created_at" : "144687057949", "updated_at" : "144687057949", "like_count" : 0, "clap_count" : 0, "comment_count" : 0, "__v" : 0, "badges" : [ ], "hashtags" : [ ] }
I am using this debezium mongodb connector in order to get the mongodb data in kafka topic.
curl -i -X POST -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json"
http://localhost:8083/connectors/ -d '{
"name": "mongo_connector-4",
"config": {
"connector.class": "io.debezium.connector.mongodb.MongoDbConnector",
"mongodb.hosts": "mongo01/localhost:27017",
"mongodb.name": "mongo_1",
"collection.whitelist": "data.col",
"key.converter.schemas.enable": false,
"value.converter.schemas.enable": false,
"key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
"value.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
"transforms" : "unwrap",
"transforms.unwrap.type" : "io.debezium.connector.mongodb.transforms.UnwrapFromMongoDbEnvelope",
"transforms.unwrap.drop.tombstones" : "false",
"transforms.unwrap.delete.handling.mode" : "drop",
"transforms.unwrap.operation.header" : "true",
"errors.tolerance" : "all",
"snapshot.delay.ms":"120000",
"poll.interval.ms":"3000",
"heartbeat.interval.ms":"90000"
}
}'
now while printing the topic in ksql i am getting that for some records data came with all columns(as it was in mongodb) while for some records some columns
are missing.
ksql> print 'mongo_1.data.col' from beginning;
Format:JSON
{"ROWTIME":1571148520736,"ROWKEY":"{\"id\":\"5d8777f188fef5555b\"}","attachments":[{"name":"Je","src":"https://google.co","type":"image/png"}],"tags":[51,52],"last_comment":[],"hashtags":[],"badges":[],"feed_id":"1","company_id":1,"message":"aJsm9LtK","group_id":"106","feed_type":"post","thumbnail":"","group_tag":false,"like_count":0,"clap_count":0,"comment_count":0,"created_by":520,"created_at":"1469577278628","updated_at":"1469577278628","status":1,"__v":0,"id":"5d8777f188fef5555b"}
{"ROWTIME":1571148520736,"ROWKEY":"{\"id\":\"5d285b4554e3b584bf97759\"}","badges":[],"hashtags":[],"id":"5d285b4554e3b584bf97759"}
Why this is happening and how to resolve this issue?
PS: the only difference i found that both records have different order of columns.
While searching about this issue only close thing i found here https://github.com/hpgrahsl/kafka-connect-mongodb
something they are saying about post-processing and redacting fields which have sensitive data. But as you can see both mine records are similar and have no sensitive data(by sensitive data i mean encrypted data, maybe they meant something else).

Answer 1

Are not the missing values after updates? Don't forget that MongoDB connector provides patch for updates not after - https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/0.10/connectors/mongodb.html#change-events-value
If you need to construct full format after in case of MongoDB you need to introduce a Kafka Streams pipeline that would store the event after insert into a persistent store and then merge the patch with the original insert to create the final event.
