@pvillard31 - I work with @TheKnowles and I can comment on your question. One primary use case is authentication/authorization but it is also useful for adding any standard HTTP headers as the Schema Registry just runs on a Jetty server. Lots of standard headers can be useful to add (authentication, compression, etc) plus it's easy to add in custom logic (such as using a servlet filter) to read custom headers. There's an example here for the authorization header in their code: See: https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/blob/v6.2.0/avro-serializer/src/main/java/io/confluent/kafka/serializers/AbstractKafkaAvroSerDeConfig.java#L38 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
