AWS Glue Schema Registry provides a solution for customers to centrally discover, control and evolve schemas while ensuring data produced was validated by registered schemas. AWS Glue Schema Registry Library offers Serializers and Deserializers that plug-in with Glue Schema Registry.
- Sign up for AWS — Before you begin, you need an AWS account. For more information about creating an AWS account and retrieving your AWS credentials, see AWS Account and Credentials in the AWS SDK for Java Developer Guide.
- Sign up for AWS Glue Schema Registry — Go to the AWS Glue Schema Registry console to sign up for the service and create an AWS Glue Schema Registry. For more information, see Getting Started with Glue Schema Registry in the AWS Glue Developer Guide.
- Minimum requirements — To use the AWS Glue Schema Registry, you'll need Java > 1.8 and < Java 15.
- Messages/records are serialized on producer front and deserialized on the consumer front by using schema-registry-serde.
- Support for three data formats: AVRO, JSON (with JSON Schema Draft04, Draft06, Draft07), and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf syntax versions 2 and 3).
- Kafka Streams support for AWS Glue Schema Registry.
- Records can be compressed to reduce message size.
- An inbuilt local in-memory cache to save calls to AWS Glue Schema Registry. The schema version id for a schema definition is cached on Producer side and schema for a schema version id is cached on the Consumer side.
- Auto registration of schema can be enabled for any new schema to be auto-registered.
- For Schemas, Evolution check is performed while registering.
- Migration from a third party Schema Registry.
- Flink support for AWS Glue Schema Registry.
- Kafka Connect support for AWS Glue Schema Registry.
After you've downloaded the code from GitHub, you can build it using Maven.
The following maven command will clean the target directory, compile the project, execute the tests and package the project build into a JAR.
cd build-tools/ && mvn clean install && cd .. && mvn clean install
Alternatively, one could git clone this repo and run mvn clean install.
To simply run the tests, execute the following maven command:
mvn test
The recommended way to use the AWS Glue Schema Registry Library for Java is to consume it from Maven.

GSR Library uses the "className" to fully classified class name to deserialize back to an Object of the POJO
Example class :
@JsonSchemaDescription("This is a car")
@JsonSchemaTitle("Simple Car Schema")
@Builder
@AllArgsConstructor
@EqualsAndHashCode
// Fully qualified class name to be added to an additionally injected property
// called className for deserializer to determine which class to deserialize
// the bytes into
@JsonSchemaInject(
strings = {@JsonSchemaString(path = "className",
value = "com.amazonaws.services.schemaregistry.integrationtests.generators.Car")}
)
// List of annotations to help infer JSON Schema are defined by https://github.com/mbknor/mbknor-jackson-jsonSchema

}Kinesis Client library (KCL) / Kinesis Producer Library (KPL): Getting started with AWS Glue Schema Registry with AWS Kinesis Data Streams
If you cannot use KCL / KPL libraries for Kinesis Data Streams integration, **See examples and integration-tests for working example with Kinesis SDK, KPL and KCL.
Auto-Registration allows any record produced with new schema to be automatically registered with the AWS Glue Schema Registry. The Schema is registered automatically and a new schema version is created and evolution checks are performed.
If the Schema already exists, but the schema version is new, the new schema version is created and evolution checks are performed.
Auto-Registration is disabled by default. To enable Auto-Registration, enable setting by passing the configuration to the Producer as below :
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.SCHEMA_AUTO_REGISTRATION_SETTING, true); // If not passed, defaults to falseRegistry Name can be provided by setting this property -
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.REGISTRY_NAME, "my-registry"); // If not passed, uses "default-registry"Schema Name can be provided by setting this property -
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.SCHEMA_NAME, "my-schema"); // If not passed, uses transport name (topic name in case of Kafka)Alternatively, a schema registry naming strategy implementation can be provided.
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.SCHEMA_NAMING_GENERATION_CLASS,
"com.amazonaws.services.schemaregistry.serializers.avro.CustomerProvidedSchemaNamingStrategy");An example test implementation class is here.
Registry Description can be provided by setting this property -
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.DESCRIPTION, "This registry is used for several purposes."); // If not passed, constructs a descriptionRegistry Description can be provided by setting this property -
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.COMPATIBILITY_SETTING, Compatibility.FULL); // Pass a compatibility mode. If not passed, uses Compatibility.BACKWARDDeserialized byte array can be compressed to save on data usage over the network and storage on the topic/stream. The Consumer side using AWS Glue Schema Registry Deserializer would be able to decompress and deserialize the byte array. By default, compression is disabled. Customers can choose ZLIB as compressionType by setting up below property.
// If not passed, defaults to no compression
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.COMPRESSION_TYPE, AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.COMPRESSION.ZLIB.name());In Memory cache is used by Producer to store schema to schema version id mapping and by consumer to store schema version id to schema mapping. This cache allows Producers and Consumers to save time and hits on IO calls to Schema Registry.
The cache is available by default. However, it can be fine-tuned by providing cache specific properties.
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.CACHE_TIME_TO_LIVE_MILLIS, "60000"); // If not passed, defaults to 24 Hours
properties.put(AWSSchemaRegistryConstants.CACHE_SIZE, "100"); // Maximum number of elements in a cache - If not passed, defaults to 200To migrate to AWS Glue Schema Registry from a third party schema registry for AVRO data types for Kafka, add this property for value class along with the third party jar.
