About

This is an Avro converter for Kafka Connect that does not depend on Confluent Schema Registry. It shares much of the same underlying code as Confluent's AvroConverter, and should work the same in practice less any features that deal with the Schema Registry itself.

We developed this converter at Mailchimp to facilitate R&D with Connect and use cases where pushing the Schema Registry Avro Format through Kafka was not desirable or we couldn't justify the overhead of a Schema Registry.
