Hi,
We are trying to use this plug-in to consume and publish from Kafka with Schema Registry from Confluent Cloud.
This plug-in does not support AVRO format in Confluent's Schema Registry, so we're evaluating if we could solve this by creating a Smart Service Plug-in to serialize/deserialize with the AVRO Java libraries.
The idea is to serialize the messages before using Publish to Kafka and then deserialize the data after Consume from Kafka stores them in db.
Does anyone know if this Smart services can send and receive the binary in AVRO format? Has anyone tried to do this or something similar?
Thanks in advance
