Hi,
We tried to produce and consume a AVRO message (zookeeper, broker and schema registry have been launched), error "Unknown magic byte" occurred while deserializing Avro message, if I missed anything? Thanks! >From producer: # bin/kafka-avro-console-producer --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test --property value.schema='{"type":"record","name":"myrecord","fields":[{"name":"f1","type":"string"}]}' SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
