[KafkaTrigger] Errors while retrieving function metadata using BindingName in cardinality=Cardinality.MANY mode

Inizia tracciando il percorso di conversione in DataOperations.apply, DataSource.computeByType e nelle classi RpcCollectionLongDataSource e RpcCollectionStringDataSource indicate nei trace. Riproduci il trigger Kafka con Cardinality.MANY e i binding OffsetArray e TopicArray. Il lavoro è completato quando questi array di metadati non causano più ClassCastException e i binding esistenti continuano a essere risolti correttamente.

Kafka trigger function has these metadata: Offset (long), Topic (string), key, partition, timestamp and headers. I was able to retrieve all this data using a basic function:

public class KafkaTriggerJava {
  @FunctionName("KafkaTriggerJava")
  public void run(
      @KafkaTrigger(
              name = "kafkaTrigger",
              topic = "test-topic",
              brokerList = "localhost:9092",
              authenticationMode = BrokerAuthenticationMode.PLAIN,
              protocol = BrokerProtocol.PLAINTEXT,
              consumerGroup = "test-group")
          String kafkaEventData,
      @BindingName("Key") String key,
      @BindingName("Offset") int offset,
      @BindingName("Partition") int partition,
      final ExecutionContext context) {
    context.getLogger().info("Payload: " + kafkaEventData);
  }
}

Then I set cardinality=Cardinality.MANY and tried the following binding names:

           @BindingName("KeyArray") Object[] key,
           @BindingName("OffsetArray") Object[] offset,
           @BindingName("TopicArray") Object[] topic,
           @BindingName("PartitionArray") Object[] partition,
           @BindingName("TimestampArray") Object[] timestamp, 
           @BindingName("HeadersArray") String[] headers

While I was able to get some of the data, "OffsetArray" and "TopicArray" ran into data conversion errors.
