Predicates¶
Transformations can be configured with predicates so that the transformation is applied only to records which satisfy a condition. You can use predicates in a transformation chain and, when combined with the Kafka Connect Filter (Kafka) SMT Usage Reference for Confluent Cloud, predicates can conditionally filter out specific records. For details and examples, see Predicates.
