 Review comment:
   The problem is you have to provide schema during `initialize` and there is 
no record to read schema ID from at that time. I was thinking about switch 
`bytesConverter` to a function/supplier or factory and give it to the 
KafkaWritable and resolve byteconverter lazy way. However I'm quite new to Hive 
and need to deep more to mechanics how the low level api works. I'd like to see 
hive download schemas from schema registry, but I need to think about concept 
first.
   
   About the compatibility, there are several compatibility modes in schema 
registry. It can be set for each topic and you can set BACKWARD compat for 
example.
   
   And yea you can have objects with literally different schemas not just 
different versions in one topic and I think this problem Hive cannot address.

> According to [Google 
> groups|https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/confluent-platform/JYhlXN0u9_A]
>  the Confluent avro serialzier uses propertiary format for kafka value - 
> <magic_byte 0x00><4 bytes of schema ID><regular avro bytes for object that 
> conforms to schema>. 
> This format does not cause any problem for Confluent kafka deserializer which 
> respect the format however for hive kafka handler its bit a problem to 
> correctly deserialize kafka value, because Hive uses custom deserializer from 
> bytes to objects and ignores kafka consumer ser/deser classes provided via 
> table property.
> It would be nice to support Confluent format with magic byte.
> Also it would be great to support Schema registry as well.
