title: Does Kafka Connect support enums?
body: <p>Are enum fields supported in Kafka Connect?   If not, what is the usual workaround?   I'm looking at the Kafka 2.6.0 ConnectSchema API here:  <a href="https://kafka.apache.org/26/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/connect/data/ConnectSchema.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kafka.apache.org/26/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/connect/data/ConnectSchema.html</a></p>
  <p>I'm trying to follow best practice by using the Confluent Schema registry (with AVRO), but can't seem to get my custom source connector to generate a schema containing enums to match an existing schema (the output topic has other producers besides the connector).  A work-around would be to simply use strings, but that undermines the whole point of a schema, doesn't it?</p>
