Anyone know of something like maxwell, debezium or bottledwater that uses thrift instead of avro or JSON?

Debezium implements Kafka Connectors, so the serialization is pluggable. Debezium can work with thrift, you just need a thrift converter for Kafka Connect.

I imagine once it's in kafka you could get it from a kafka pipe in whatever format you want.
