It can be set for each topic and you can set BACKWARD compat Right, but Hive will likely only work properly if the config really is set to backwards, or at the least, the schema provided can read all the data for the offsets that are provided. > with literally different schemas Maybe if more schema data was exposed, this would be easier to handle? For example, the Avro namespace + top-level record name? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
