[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-10715) Support Kafka connect converter for AVRO

Ravindranath Kakarla created KAFKA-10715:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Support Kafka connect converter for AVRO
                 Key: KAFKA-10715
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10715
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: KafkaConnect
            Reporter: Ravindranath Kakarla


I want to add support for Avro data format converter to Kafka Connect. Right now, Kafka connect supports [JSON converter|[https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/connect].] Since, Avro is a commonly used data format with Kafka, it will be great to have support for it. 

 

Confluent Schema Registry libraries have [support|https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/blob/master/avro-converter/src/main/java/io/confluent/connect/avro/AvroConverter.java] for it. The code seems to be pretty generic and can be used directly with Kafka connect without schema registry. They are also licensed under Apache 2.0.

 

Can they be copied to this repository and made available for all users of Kafka Connect?
