Hi,
Is there any way to configure custom Kafka producer/consumer properties on the
Camel Kafka component/endpoint (without "breaking in")?
I specifically want to configure the Confluent Kafka property with key
'value.subject.name.strategy':
https://docs.confluent.io/current/schema-registry/serializer-formatter.html
Other Camel components (i.e Camel ActiveMQ; destination.consumer) are made
extensible by providing users a way to set "additional properties". Why does
not Camel Kafka provide that? Until schemaRegistryURL was added as a
configurable property, we had to make our own Camel Kafka Component to make it
work ("breaking in"). There should definitely be a way to set additional/custom
properties on Kafka producers/consumers.
Just have a look at the Camel Kafka documentation and do a text search for
Confluent: https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/kafka-component.html ;-)
Having "native" support for schemas on Kafka records is definitely a good idea,
and I am pretty sure Apache Kafka will move in that direction at some point....
