key.converter.schemas.enable=false
value.converter.schemas.enable=false

For distributed mode, please copy kafka_home/config/connect-distributed.properties to create kafka_home/config/couchdb-connect-distributed.properties file. Open kafka_home/config/couchdb-connect-distributed.properties and set the following properties to false.

value.converter.schemas.enable=false

In distributed mode, if you run more than one worker per host, the rest.port settings must have different values for each instance. By default REST interface is available at 8083.
