Anonymization interceptor proposal #13
Description
This proposal is for adding interceptor that could inspect and transform every produced record with data anonymization purpose. This functionality could be useful in our age of GDPR.
There is a similar proposal for Kafka connect but its functionality is limited by only "masking" sensitive data while this interceptor could implement more advanced and useful data anonymization techniques which make possible to still use this data for some purpose but without exposing it.
Possible use cases:
Use anonymized identifiers like email or phone to join records from different data sets
Replace birth date with configurable age range to hide real number but still provide this information.
Replace geographical coordinates with another from "near field" to hide exact location
etc
