--------------------------------------
Assignee: Shikhar Bhushan (was: Ewen Cheslack-Postava)
> Cyclic schema support in ConnectSchema and SchemaBuilder
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3910
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3910
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: John Hofman
> Assignee: Shikhar Bhushan
>
> Cyclic schema's are not supported by ConnectSchema or SchemaBuilder.
> Subsequently the AvroConverter (confluentinc/schema-registry) hits a stack
> overflow when converting a cyclic avro schema, e.g:
> {code}
> {"type":"record",
> "name":"list","fields":[{"name":"value","type":"int"},{"name":"next","type":["null","list"]}]}
> {code}
> This is a blocking issue for all connectors running on the connect framework
> with data containing cyclic references. The AvroConverter cannot support
> cyclic schema's until the underlying ConnectSchema and SchemaBuilder do.
> To reproduce the stack-overflow (Confluent-3.0.0):
> Produce some cyclic data:
> {code}
> bin/kafka-avro-console-producer --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test
> --property value.schema='{"type":"record",
> "name":"list","fields":[{"name":"value","type":"int"},{"name":"next","type":["null","list"]}]}'
> {"value":1,"next":null}
> {"value":1,"next":{"list":{"value":2,"next":null}}}
> {code}
> Then try to consume it with connect:
> {code:title=connect-console-sink.properties}
> name=local-console-sink
> connector.class=org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSinkConnector
> tasks.max=1
> topics=test
> {code}
> {code}
> ./bin/connect-standalone
> ./etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties
> connect-console-sink.properties
> … start up logging …
> java.lang.StackOverflowError
