Jordan Moore commented on KAFKA-7315: ------------------------------------- Thanks for opening [~vvcephei] Thoughts: List out the options in the documentation, don't force a developer towards using a Schema Registry (since this is AK docs, not Confluent or Hortonworks for example). So, options: # Take an Avro object and push it as raw bytes directly; [example here|http://aseigneurin.github.io/2016/03/04/kafka-spark-avro-producing-and-consuming-avro-messages.html] # Use a Schema Registry, and document how it works, in general (using referential lookups to external sources within the SerDe interfaces) ## Possibly link to (or simply mention) known implementations --- [Confluent Schema Registry|https://www.confluent.io/confluent-schema-registry/] --- [Hortonworks Registry|https://registry-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/] --- [Cloudera|http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2018/07/robust-message-serialization-in-apache-kafka-using-apache-avro-part-2/] > Streams serialization docs contain a broken link for Avro > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-7315 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7315 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: streams > Reporter: John Roesler > Priority: Major > Labels: docuentation, newbie > > https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/streams/developer-guide/datatypes.html#avro -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
