Support for Reject link on Kafka connector.

We have a requirement to publish message on a Kafka topic from a database and only publish them once. Problem is when using the Kafka connector as target it don't support a reject link. So how do I get a notice if message fails?

Kafka Connector sets ACKS to all by default, so jobs fails when a message not has been publish. But how will I know which has been successful and which has not.

That could be solved by support for a reject link when KafKa connector is user as Target.

I will need to know which one that has failed as I need to update the database that it has been publish successful or not.

At the moment I had to add a consumer to check if message has been publish or not. ( still not a good solution as this is done asynchronously )
