Hi Eric, Sure thing. Assuming the definition of ‘produced’ you had tried in your code, it’s just:
... .toStream.to("streams-pipe-output")(produced) As far as the json serde goes, I think that I wrote an example of using Jackson to implement a serde in Confluent’s kafka-streams-examples repo. I’m not sure what other/better examples might be out there. Hope this helps, John On Thu, Nov 19, 2020, at 00:27, Eric Beabes wrote: > Not sure what you mean by "pass it explicitly".
