--------------------------------------------
Summary: Support Kafka connect converter for AVRO
Key: KAFKA-10715
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10715
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Ravindranath Kakarla
I want to add support for Avro data format converter to Kafka Connect. Right
now, Kafka connect supports [JSON
converter|[https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/connect].] Since, Avro is
a commonly used data format with Kafka, it will be great to have support for
it.
Confluent Schema Registry libraries have
[support|https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/blob/master/avro-converter/src/main/java/io/confluent/connect/avro/AvroConverter.java]
for it. The code seems to be pretty generic and can be used directly with
Kafka connect without schema registry. They are also licensed under Apache 2.0.
Can they be copied to this repository and made available for all users of Kafka
Connect?
