-----------------------------------
Summary: Add Float serializer, deserializer, serde
Key: KAFKA-4769
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4769
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients
Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.0
Reporter: Michael Noll
Assignee: Michael Noll
Priority: Minor
We currently provide serializers/deserializers/serdes for a few data types such
as String, Long, Double, but not yet for Float.
Adding built-in support Float is helpful for when e.g. you are using Kafka
Connect to write data from a MySQL database, where the field was defined as a
FLOAT, so the schema was generated as FLOAT, and you like to subsequently
process the data with Kafka Streams.
Possible workaround:
Instead of adding Float support, users can manually convert from float to
double. The point of this ticket however is to save the user from being forced
to convert manually, thus providing more convenience and slightly better
Connect-Streams interoperability in a scenario such as above.
