Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Validating the correctness of a Kafka sink is challenging without understanding the downstream business logic, which often requires significant effort from the customer and is usually not feasible. Therefore, we need a way to verify data consistency between the old and new architectures before upgrading, without relying on domain-specific knowledge.
Describe the feature you'd like
The proposed feature is a data comparison tool that automatically consumes and aligns output streams from both the old and new Kafka sink architectures. It would compare messages and generate a clear report highlighting any discrepancies. This would provide confidence in data correctness before switching production traffic, independent of business logic.
