Hi Xiangying Meng, For the Pulsar client, even if users set BYTES schema, it won’t store anything in schema registry and we don’t need any special compatibility check. The key point here is, users can use admin api to upload a BYTES schema and it store a NONE type of schema in schema registry, which is unexpected and broke the compatibility checks.
Tell users there is no schema just after user upload a BYTES schema is strange too. So I suggest to forbid users to upload BYTES schema.
