> 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

> Fix For: 0.8.3

>
> 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).
