Misc. documentation changes for the Debezium MySQL connector

XMLWordPrintable

      I've noticed a few things that should be updated in the MySQL connector docs:

      • Schema change events contain both the raw DDL as well as a structured representation of the table schema at that point in time (since DBZ-1865, added in 1.5); here's an example (note the new tableChanges field; this field is included in the examples currently used in the Db2, Oracle, and SQL Server connector docs):
      {
          "schema": {
              "type": "struct",
              "fields": [
                  {
                      "type": "string",
                      "optional": false,
                      "field": "databaseName"
                  }
              ],
              "optional": false,
              "name": "io.debezium.connector.mysql.SchemaChangeKey"
          },

      • The reference to the database.server.name option in the same section should be an actual link to the property in the docs (Db2, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server).
      • The Topic names section only discusses names of change event topics; for sake of completeness, the default topic naming should also refer to naming for:
        • Schema change topics (Db2, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server).
        • Internal DB history topics (Db2, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server).
        • Transaction metadata topics (Db2, MySQL, PG, Oracle, SQL Server)
