Context

By default, Debezium captures and emits change events for any row-level modification in the database, regardless of which columns were affected. In certain use cases, consumers are only interested in changes to a subset of columns, while updates to other fields are irrelevant.

Decision

We will add support in the Debezium Quarkus extension to define a filter on specific columns. The extension will check which columns have changed in each event and suppress those that do not include changes.
