--------------------------------------------
Summary: Reduce copycat configs to only specify a converter or
serializer, not both
Key: KAFKA-2475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2475
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: copycat
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Ultimately, all we care about is getting from byte[] -> Copycat data API. The
current split of the interfaces makes it easy to reuse existing serializers,
but you still have to implement a new class.
It will be simpler, both conceptually and by requiring fewer configs, to
combine both these steps into a single API. This also allows certain formats to
preserve more information across these (e.g. for primitive types in schema,
which otherwise could lose certain schema information).
