Additional Notes on Setting Up the Schema Registry

It is recommended to turn off the compatibility checking in schema registry when used with Panopticon Streams.

To do this, set the Avro compatibility level to NONE (as mentioned below) in the schema-registry.properties  file.

Then there are three cases depending on how Kafka is deployed:

q  On Windows from the ZIP file from Panopticon. Already turned off by default.

q  On Linux manually deployed (“bare metal”). Add the following line to …etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties

Avro.compatibility.level=NONE

q  With Docker Compose using the Confluent images

Add the following line to the environment section of the schema-registry service in docker-compose.yml

SCHEMA_REGISTRY_AVRO_COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL: ‘NONE’
