Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-18546: ------------------------------------------ How would this work in terms of backwards compatibility? > Upgrade to Kafka Schema Registry Client 5.5.0 > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-18546 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18546 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile) > Affects Versions: 1.11.0 > Reporter: Lucas Heimberg > Priority: Major > Labels: Avro, avro > > As of version 1.11, Flink (i.e., flink-avro-confluent-registry) still uses > kafka-schema-registry-client in version 4.1.0. > From version 5.5.0 on, the Kafka schema registry client supports resolving of > schema references (see > [https://docs.confluent.io/current/schema-registry/serdes-develop/index.html#referenced-schemas]), > i.e., schemas that are defined using schemas from other subjects. > Therefore it would be great if Flink could make use of > kafka-schema-registry-client in version 5.5.0 or higher in future releases. > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
