Summary: Serialization and Deserialization of Kafka Avro messages from and to Row with Confluent Schema Registry Key: FLINK-8378 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8378 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: Type Serialization System Affects Versions: 1.3.2, 1.4.0 Reporter: Christophe Philemotte Priority: Minor I need to serialize and deserialize Avro messages from Kafka whose the schema are stored in the Confluent Schema Registry to Row instances. As far as I know, * KafkaAvroTableSource does not fetch the schema from the registry * there is no TableSink for KafkaAvro * the AvroRowSerializationSchema and AvroRowDeserializationSchema needs a known Avro schema * there is none wrapper of the Kafka serdes So, for now it's not possible out of the box. Still, I think it's an interesting use case especially considering the Table & SQL API. I've found some issues related to my case: * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4050 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2597 It seems to me that they have wider scope, that's why I'm creating this issue. I hope I'm doing well. I've managed to implement a serializer and deserializer that are between the Kafka ones and the Flink AvroRow ones. If you think such serdes would be a nice addition, I'm ready to contribute and rework my implementation (notably to work with TypeSerializers if possible). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
