Hi Everyone, In our use-case we encode avro pojo to byteArray and then push it to Kafka, but when I am trying to decode this with slightly updated avro pojo (only one new Double field is added with default value 0), I am getting ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException. Now I know this might be expected as we are not transferring avro schema in any header, so the exception might be legit. But I do not want any down time in my system and want to deploy my changes with new pojo. Is there any way I can do that. For reference... Our Utility class for encoding/decoding
