Hi, I'm new to Kafka, and I would like to use schema registry to manager the schema of my topic.
The schema I've created: curl -X POST -i -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.schemaregistry.v1+json" --data '{ "schema": "{\"type\": \"record\",\"name\": \"Customer\", \"fields\": [ { \"type\": \"int\", \"name\": \"id\" }, { \"type\": \"string\", \"name\": \"name\" } ] }" }' http://localhost:8081/subjects/Customer/versions HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 07:03:49 GMT Content-Type: application/vnd.schemaregistry.v1+json Content-Length: 9 Server: Jetty(9.2.12.v20150709) {"id":21}% My Customer class: public class Customer { private int id; private String name; public Customer(int ID, String name) { this.id = ID; this.name = name; } //getters and setters } My main code is like the following: for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) { Customer customer = new Customer(i,"customer"+i); producer.send(new ProducerRecord<String, Customer>("test1", customer)).get(); } I got the following error: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.SerializationException: Error serializing Avro message Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported Avro type. Supported types are null, Boolean, Integer, Long, Float, Double, String, byte[] and IndexedRecord at io.confluent.kafka.serializers.AbstractKafkaAvroSerDe.getSchema(AbstractKafkaAvroSerDe.java:115) I thought I followed the example of the book <Kafka:The Definitive Guide>
