When using the
Produce
task, we are only able to send objects with a simple structure. The current code does not handle complex types correctly, such as enums, unions, lists, maps, etc.This commit improves handling of complex Avro types in Kafka by introducing
MapToGenericRecordSerializer
a betterGenericRecord
serialization.Note: Further work may be required to handle fixed values (which only accept
byte[]
) and unions (currently using the first non-null type, which allow support for optional values but not polymorphism).
