Yes, I can see the messages. Also, I wrote a quick custom decoder for avro and it works fine for the following:
>> kvs = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream(ssc, [topic], {"metadata.broker.list": >> brokers}, valueDecoder=decoder) But, when I use the Confluent Serializers to leverage the Schema Registry (based on the link shown below), it doesn’t work for me. I am not sure whether I need to configure any more details to consume the Schema Registry. I can fetch the schema from the schema registry based on is Ids. The decoder method is not returning any values for me. ~Muthu On 5/16/16, 10:49 AM, "Cody Koeninger" <c...@koeninger.org> wrote: >Have you checked to make sure you can receive messages just using a >byte array for value? > >On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 12:33 PM, Ramaswamy, Muthuraman ><muthuraman.ramasw...@viasat.com> wrote: >> I am trying to consume AVRO formatted message through >> KafkaUtils.createDirectStream.
