This is possibly more of a Confluent question as GenericAvroSerde is in Confluent example code base.
I have a small Stream application, which creates a KTable with String key and GenericRecord value. I then specify a Serde<GenericRecord> (new GenericAvroSerde) as value deserializer when outputting to topic via table.to method. I get a NPE on deserializing with this.schemaRegistry being null within AbstractKafkaAvroSerializer#serializeImpl. Could it be simply that GenericRecords are more of an intermediate class and are not meant to be serialised? I'd like to stream the values on topic as GenericRecord. I thought it should work. Alternatively, guidance on using SpecificAvroSerde would be very helpful.
