GitHub user robshep added a comment to the discussion: Cannot parse <null> schema
Thank you, I'm afraid I don't know how to get the schema compatibility policy of a topic - please can you advise. I don't see a cli command to show this) On the few occasions this has happened, it typically works OK after restarting the application. On once occasion it has failed to recover so I used a fresh broker cluster. (in testing environment so no data lost) You can see in the original post the NULL schema that is returned as a symptom of this problem, whereas below is a proper one as logged upon connection. ```2020-11-06 11:15:03,080 [pool-3-thread-1] INFO o.a.p.client.impl.schema.AvroSchema - Load schema reader for version(0), schema is : {"type":"record","name":"IngressMessageV1","namespace":"io.myapp.shared.pl","fields":[{"name":"attributes","type":["null",{"type":"map","values":"string"}],"default":null},{"name":"timestamp","type":"long"},{"name":"rawMessage","type":["null",{"type":"bytes","java-class":"[B"}],"default":null}]}, schemaInfo: { "name": "myorg/myapp/ingress", "schema": { "type": "record", "name": "IngressMessageV1", "namespace": "io.myapp.shared.pl", "fields": [ { "name": "attributes", "type": [ "null", { "type": "map", "values": "string" } ] }, { "name": "timestamp", "type": "long" }, { "name": "rawMessage", "type": [ "null", { "type": "bytes", "java-class": "[B" } ] } ] }, "type": "AVRO", "properties": { "__alwaysAllowNull": "true", "__jsr310ConversionEnabled": "false" } }``` GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/discussions/18948#discussioncomment-4414957 ---- This is an automatically sent email for dev@pulsar.apache.org.
