 1. If you have events where there is no value ([_tombstone_ events](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#compaction)), you may wish to filter these out.
     - In the Cloudant sink connector, these may be undesirable as they will generate an empty document.
-    - In the Cloudant source connector, tombstone events are generated by default for deleted documents (in addition to the deleted document itself).
