Confluent kafka connect elasticsearch document ID creation

Question

I am using confluent for to connect my DB and ES getting exception as:

org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.DataException: STRUCT is not supported as the document id.

My configuration in kafka-connect-JDBC is: .

name=task-view-list-stage
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
tasks.max=10 
connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres?user=postgres&password=test
table.types=TABLE
query=select * from employee_master
mode=timestamp+incrementing
incrementing.column.name=employee_master_id
timestamp.column.name=modified_date
validate.non.null=false
topic.prefix=my-id-app

And my kafka-connect Elasticsearch configuration is:

name=es-id-view
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSinkConnector
tasks.max=1
topics=my-id-app
topics.key.ignore=false
transforms=InsertKey
transforms.InsertKey.type=org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ValueToKey
transforms.InsertKey.fields=employee_master_id
connection.url=http://localhost:9200
type.name=type_id

My Table structure is:

employee_master_id | emp_name | modified_date
-----------------------------------------------------------
1                  |  Bala    |  "2017-05-18 11:51:46.721182+05:30"
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help me to resolve this issue

As well as ValueToKey you need ExtractField to convert the key from an object to a plain field:

transforms=InsertKey,ExtractId
transforms.InsertKey.type=org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ValueToKey
transforms.InsertKey.fields=employee_master_id    
transforms.ExtractId.type=org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractField$Key
transforms.ExtractId.field=employee_master_id
