--------------------------------------------

             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).
