> Support Kafka connect converter for AVRO

> Key: KAFKA-10715
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10715
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 336h
> Remaining Estimate: 336h

> 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?
