lct45 opened a new pull request #10813: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10813
Implementation of [KIP-741](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-741%3A+Change+default+serde+to+be+null) per [KAFKA-9559](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9559). Changes the default serde from `byteArray` to `null`. This allows us to throw `ConfigExceptions` instead of NPEs which will give users a better idea of where their serdes are misconfigured. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
