Hi, all, Here is the promised code examples for the revised API, and the related change to how we specify serdes in the API:
- User example for the new API chagne: https://github.com/nickpan47/samza/tree/new-api-v2 - Prateekās PR for the proposed schema registry change: https://github.com/nickpan47/samza/pull/2/files Please feel free to comment and provide feedbacks!
