Summary: Reduce copycat configs to only specify a converter or serializer, not both Key: KAFKA-2475 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2475 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Sub-task Components: copycat Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava Ultimately, all we care about is getting from byte[] -> Copycat data API. The current split of the interfaces makes it easy to reuse existing serializers, but you still have to implement a new class. It will be simpler, both conceptually and by requiring fewer configs, to combine both these steps into a single API. This also allows certain formats to preserve more information across these (e.g. for primitive types in schema, which otherwise could lose certain schema information). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
