Hello, I am a software engineer at Yelp Inc and lead the data infrastructure group at Yelp. We have a complex real time streaming ecosystem comprising flink, kafka and our custom schema registry service. I am trying to evaluate Apache Paimon as a potential replacement for a lot of our data pipelines, involving streaming reads, joins and aggregations to help minimize our growing operational complexity and cost. Also paimon seems to solve the schema evolution problem better than flink sqlclient? (which we use currently)
One issue with integrating paimon in our ecosystem seems to be that it does not support debezium avro format. Although Jingsong Li pointed me to this <https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/pull/2070> branch that does seem to add support for debezium avro format using confluent schema registry. This would allow us to ingest our data from kafka into paimon and then evaluate it. I wanted to know if we have plans to push this branch to master soonish. I can help with reviewing, since I plan to consume data written using this format for some of our production workflows. Thanks, Umesh
