Confluent: Simple JSON encoding for Avro schemas - Plugin

Simple JSON encoding for Avro schemasv3.16+

Configure the Confluent plugin to accept plain JSON for an Avro schema with nullable fields, instead of Avro-encoded JSON with type-tagged unions.

Prerequisites

Create a Kafka cluster in Confluent Cloud
Create a Kafka topic in the cluster
Create an API key and secret in the cluster
Configure a Schema Registry with an Avro schema that includes at least one nullable (union) field

Environment variables

KAFKA_TOPIC: The name of your Kafka topic.
BOOTSTRAP_SERVER_HOST: The bootstrap server host.
REGISTRY_URL: The URL of your Confluent Schema Registry instance. For example, http://schema-registry:8081.
CONFLUENT_CLUSTER_API_KEY: Your Confluent cluster API key.
CONFLUENT_CLUSTER_API_SECRET: Your Confluent cluster API key.
