Hi, @Arvid Heise-4, @Matthias I'm very appreciate for your attention, guys. And sorry for my late reply.
Yes, Arvid, you are right, the second way in fact works. I coppied schema from Schema Registry using it's API and created the .avsc format file. And thanks again for explaining me why the first way is not compatible. So, my code to define schema is (I don't know is it good decision...): Path path = Paths.get("path_to_schema/schema.avsc"); String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(path)); Schema schema = new Schema.Parser().parse(content); And it really works. But, I don't understand why should I use two schemas: 1. schema I created (reader schema) 2. schema I get with SR url (writer schema) I have some expirience with KafkaStreams lib and using it there is no need to get reader schema. There is one service to communicate with schemas - it's Schema Registry. Why not to use single source to get schema in Flink? Again, the second way is correct, and I can to go farther with my program. Thanks. -- Sent from: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/
