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. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
