>
> Kafka natively supports two encoders for messages:
> # {{kafka.serializer.DefaultEncoder}} - encodes as byte arrays
> # {{kafka.serializer.StringEncoder}} - encodes as Strings
> Camel-kafka exposes settings to select the encoder (({{serializerClass}} and {{keySerializerClass}}), but the {{org.apache.camel.component.kafka.KafkaProducer}} class hard-codes String for both the key and value types.  This results in a {{ClassCastException}} when using the {{DefaultDecoder}}.
> The attached patch fixes this as follows (conforming to kafka itself):
> * If no {{serializerClass}} option is specified, the {{DefaultDecoder}} is used.
> * If no {{keySerializerClass}} option is specified, the same encoder as {{serializerClass}} is used
> This fix shouldn't break any existing code, as there was not previously a default setting (i.e., {{StringEncoder}} always had to be specified).
> I created the patch against master, but it should backport easily to 2.15.x and 2.14.x.
