Kafka connect 2.0.1 - ByteArrayConverter ?

[Olivier Girardot]

Hi everyone,is there any way to use a straightforward converter instead of the
AvroConverter for avro data, because the NullPointerException
(https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-connect-hdfs/issues/36 and
https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry/issues/272)  is quite blocking
and an upgrade of the cluster is not yet possible.
I guess such a converter can be developped but I was wondering if any workaround
is available out of the box ?
