HI Vibhor, Drill doesn't currently support reading Avro messages from Kafka. However Drill DOES support reading Avro files. It looks as if the Kafka plugin was designed to accept Avro but nobody ever added the Avro reader. It would not be terribly difficult to use Drill's existing Avro reader to create an Avro message reader for Drill/Kafka. Take a look here:
https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/contrib/storage-kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/store/kafka/decoders/JsonMessageReader.java All you would have to do is implement one for Avro using Drill's existing Avro parser. If you need help, let me know. Best, -- C > On Feb 9, 2021, at 8:21 PM, Jaiswal, Vibhor <[email protected]> > wrote: > > am able to connect to topic and do a count query .
