Re: schema to just read as "byte[] array" from kafka

[Chao Wang]

Hi Raja,

I just happened to work on the similar thing, and here is how to do it 
in general, I think (In my case, I did a bit more, to deserialize a 
tuple of <byte[],byte[]>) :

FlinkKafkaConsumer010<byte[]> consumer = new 
FlinkKafkaConsumer010<>("topic_name", new MyDe<byte[]>(), properties);

and for MyDe the schema:

public static class MyDe<T> extends AbstractDeserializationSchema<byte[]> {
  @Override
  public byte[] deserialize(byte[] arg0) {
    return new e;
  }
}

Hi

I am using /SimpleStringSchema/ to deserialize a message read from 
kafka, but need some help to know if there is any schema available I 
can use rather than “SimpleStringSchema()” and instead just get 
“byte[]” without any deserialization happening!

Below is code I am currently using, but instead of 
SimpleStringSchema() which is giving me Strings, but I want the a raw 
byte array Byte[]:

FlinkKafkaConsumer08<String> myConsumer = *new 
*FlinkKafkaConsumer08<>(*"xxx_topic"*, *new */SimpleStringSchema(),/ 
properties);

Thanks a lot.
