Michael Noll updated KAFKA-4769: -------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Add Float serializer, deserializer, serde > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4769 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4769 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.0 > Reporter: Michael Noll > Assignee: Michael Noll > Priority: Minor > > We currently provide serializers/deserializers/serdes for a few data types > such as String, Long, Double, but not yet for Float. > Adding built-in support Float is helpful for when e.g. you are using Kafka > Connect to write data from a MySQL database, where the field was defined as a > FLOAT, so the schema was generated as FLOAT, and you like to subsequently > process the data with Kafka Streams. > Possible workaround: > Instead of adding Float support, users can manually convert from float to > double. The point of this ticket however is to save the user from being > forced to convert manually, thus providing more convenience and slightly > better Connect-Streams interoperability in a scenario such as above. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
