Currently, when the JsonConverter sends JSON data to Kafka, it includes the entire schema (structure of the data) along with the actual data in every message. This can make the messages quite large, especially if the schema is complex. The proposed improvement is to allow the JsonConverter to reference an external schema file or service instead of including the full schema in every message. This would make the messages smaller and more efficient. *Summary of testing strategy (including rationale) for the feature or bug fix. Unit and/or integration tests are expected for any behaviour change and system tests should be considered for larger changes.* ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [x] Verify design and implementation - [x] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
