Docs Connect Components Processors schema_registry_decode schema_registry_decode Available in: Cloud, Self-Managed Automatically decodes and validates messages with schemas from a Confluent Schema Registry service. This processor uses the Franz Kafka Schema Registry client.

If a message fails to match against the schema then it will remain unchanged and the error can be caught using error handling methods. Avro, Protobuf and JSON schemas are supported, all are capable of expanding from schema references as of v4.22.0. Avro JSON format This processor creates documents formatted as Avro JSON when decoding with Avro schemas. In this format the value of a union is encoded in JSON as follows: if its type is null, then it is encoded as a JSON null; otherwise it is encoded as a JSON object with one name/value pair whose name is the type’s name and whose value is the recursively encoded value. For Avro’s named types (record, fixed or enum) the user-specified name is used, for other types the type name is used. For example, the union schema ["null","string","Foo"], where Foo is a record name, would encode: null as null; the string "a" as \{"string": "a"}; and a Foo instance as \{"Foo": {…}}, where {…} indicates the JSON encoding of a Foo instance. However, it is possible to instead create documents in standard/raw JSON format by setting the field avro_raw_json to true. Protobuf format This processor decodes protobuf messages to JSON documents, you can read more about JSON mapping of protobuf messages here: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#json Fields avro_raw_json Whether Avro messages should be decoded into normal JSON ("json that meets the expectations of regular internet json") rather than Avro JSON. If true the schema returned from the subject should be decoded as standard json instead of as avro json. There is a comment in goavro, the underlining library used for avro serialization, that explains in more detail the difference between the standard json and avro json. Type: bool Default: false url The base URL of the schema registry service. Type: string oauth Allows you to specify open authentication via OAuth version 1. Type: object Requires version 4.7.0 or newer oauth.enabled Whether to use OAuth version 1 in requests. Type: bool Default: false oauth.consumer_key A value used to identify the client to the service provider. Type: string Default: "" oauth.consumer_secret A secret used to establish ownership of the consumer key. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" oauth.access_token A value used to gain access to the protected resources on behalf of the user. Type: string Default: "" oauth.access_token_secret A secret provided in order to establish ownership of a given access token. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" basic_auth Allows you to specify basic authentication. Type: object Requires version 4.7.0 or newer basic_auth.enabled Whether to use basic authentication in requests. Type: bool Default: false basic_auth.username A username to authenticate as. Type: string Default: "" basic_auth.password A password to authenticate with. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" jwt BETA: Allows you to specify JWT authentication. Type: object Requires version 4.7.0 or newer jwt.enabled Whether to use JWT authentication in requests. Type: bool Default: false jwt.private_key_file A file with the PEM encoded via PKCS1 or PKCS8 as private key. Type: string Default: "" jwt.signing_method A method used to sign the token such as RS256, RS384, RS512 or EdDSA. Type: string Default: "" jwt.claims A value used to identify the claims that issued the JWT. Type: object Default: {} jwt.headers Add optional key/value headers to the JWT. Type: object Default: {} tls Custom TLS settings can be used to override system defaults. Type: object tls.skip_cert_verify Whether to skip server side certificate verification. Type: bool Default: false tls.enable_renegotiation Whether to allow the remote server to repeatedly request renegotiation. Enable this option if you’re seeing the error message local error: tls: no renegotiation. Type: bool Default: false Requires version 3.45.0 or newer tls.root_cas An optional root certificate authority to use. This is a string, representing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" # Examples root_cas: |- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- tls.root_cas_file An optional path of a root certificate authority file to use. This is a file, often with a .pem extension, containing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate. Type: string Default: "" # Examples root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem tls.client_certs A list of client certificates to use. For each certificate either the fields cert and key, or cert_file and key_file should be specified, but not both. Type: array Default: [] # Examples client_certs: - cert: foo key: bar client_certs: - cert_file: ./example.pem key_file: ./example.key tls.client_certs[].cert A plain text certificate to use. Type: string Default: "" tls.client_certs[].key A plain text certificate key to use. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" tls.client_certs[].cert_file The path of a certificate to use. Type: string Default: "" tls.client_certs[].key_file The path of a certificate key to use. Type: string Default: "" tls.client_certs[].password A plain text password for when the private key is password encrypted in PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 format. The obsolete pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC algorithm is not supported for the PKCS#8 format. Because the obsolete pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC algorithm does not authenticate the ciphertext, it is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks that can let an attacker recover the plaintext. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. Type: string Default: "" # Examples password: foo password: ${KEY_PASSWORD} Back to top × Simple online edits For simple changes, such as fixing a typo, you can edit the content directly on GitHub.
