The Value seems to be a string instead of json.BinaryJSON as the error indicates

(dlv) print col
*github.com/pingcap/ticdc/cdc/model.Column {
	Name: "json_payload",
	Type: 245,
	Flag: BinaryFlag|NullableFlag (65),
	Value: interface {}(string) "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}",}

Manual test

Setup a test environment:

tiup playground v5.2.2 --tiflash 0 --without-monitor=false
./bin/cdc server
curl --silent --output docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confluentinc/cp-all-in-one/6.2.0-post/cp-all-in-one-community/docker-compose.yml
sudo docker-compose up -d
./bin/cdc cli changefeed create --no-confirm --changefeed-id="simple-replication-task" --sort-engine="unified" --sink-uri="kafka://127.0.0.1:9092/cdc-test?protocol=avro&kafka-version=2.8.0" --log-level debug --opts registry="http://127.0.0.1:8081"

Create a table and insert some JSON:

CREATE TABLE `sample_table` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned primary key NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `json_payload` json DEFAULT NULL
);
INSERT INTO sample_table(json_payload) VALUES(NULL);
INSERT INTO sample_table(json_payload) VALUES(JSON_OBJECT('foo', 'bar'));
SELECT * FROM sample_table;

Start an Avro Console Consumer:

sudo docker-compose exec schema-registry /bin/sh
kafka-avro-console-consumer  --topic cdc-test --from-beginning --bootstrap-server broker:29092

Output:

{"id":"\t","json_payload":{"string":"{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"}}
