A quick update, in class MyDe:
public static class MyDe<T> extends AbstractDeserializationSchema<byte[]> {
  @Override
  public byte[] deserialize(byte[] arg0) {
    // Perform deserialization here, if needed;
    // otherwise, probably we can simply return arg0 as raw byte[]
    return arg0;
  }
}

Hi Raja,

I just happened to work on the similar thing, and here is how to do it in general, I think (In my case, I did a bit more, to deserialize a tuple of <byte[],byte[]>) :
FlinkKafkaConsumer010<byte[]> consumer = new FlinkKafkaConsumer010<>("topic_name", new MyDe<byte[]>(), properties);

and for MyDe the schema:

public static class MyDe<T> extends AbstractDeserializationSchema<byte[]> {
  @Override
  public byte[] deserialize(byte[] arg0) {
    return new e;
  }
}

Hi

I am using SimpleStringSchema to deserialize a message read from kafka, but need some help to know if there is any schema available I can use rather than “SimpleStringSchema()” and instead just get “byte[]” without any deserialization happening!

Below is code I am currently using, but instead of SimpleStringSchema() which is giving me Strings, but I want the a raw byte array Byte[]:

FlinkKafkaConsumer08<String> myConsumer = new FlinkKafkaConsumer08<>("xxx_topic", new SimpleStringSchema(), properties);


Thanks a lot.
