KAFKA-4769: Add Float serializer, deserializer, serde
----
> Add Float serializer, deserializer, serde
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4769
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4769
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.0
> Reporter: Michael Noll
> Assignee: Michael Noll
> Priority: Minor
>
> We currently provide serializers/deserializers/serdes for a few data types
> such as String, Long, Double, but not yet for Float.
> Adding built-in support Float is helpful for when e.g. you are using Kafka
> Connect to write data from a MySQL database, where the field was defined as a
> FLOAT, so the schema was generated as FLOAT, and you like to subsequently
> process the data with Kafka Streams.
> Possible workaround:
> Instead of adding Float support, users can manually convert from float to
> double. The point of this ticket however is to save the user from being
> forced to convert manually, thus providing more convenience and slightly
> better Connect-Streams interoperability in a scenario such as above.
