anchor.diff:  To configure a {prodname} connector to emit change event records that conform to the CloudEvents specification, {prodname} provides the `io.debezium.converters.CloudEventsConverter`, which is a Kafka Connect message converter. 
   
   Currently, only structured mapping mode is supported. The CloudEvents change event envelope can be JSON or Avro and each envelope type supports JSON or Avro as the `data` format. It is expected that a future {prodname} release will support binary mapping mode.

  <1> Specifying the `serializer.type` is optional, because `json` is the default.
   
  `CloudEventsConverter` converts Kafka record values. In the same connector configuration, you can specify `key.converter` if you want to operate on record keys.
  For example, you might specify `StringConverter`, `LongConverter`, `JsonConverter`, or `AvroConverter`.
