Hi Lucas, 1.9.2 [1] support depends on Hive upgrading as well [2] . You could cast a vote on both tickets to accelerate it.
Schema registry 5.5.0 depends on Avro 1.9.2 and I'm not sure what the implications of a downgrade are. Of course, you could build the module yourself with 5.5.0, test, and report back.
