Overview

Provides a way to encode and decode messages without having to embed schemas in the encoded data. Confluent’s Schema Registry is used to register a schema when encoding a message – the registry will issue a schema id that will be included in the encoded data alongside the actual message. When decoding the data, the schema id will be used to look up the writer’s schema from the registry.

Instance Method Details

#decode(data, schema_name: nil, namespace: @namespace) ⇒ Object

Decodes data into the original message.

data - A String containing encoded data. schema_name - The String name of the schema that should be used to decode

the data. Must match the schema used when encoding (optional).

namespace - The namespace of the schema (optional).

Returns the decoded message.

end

#decode_message(data, schema_name: nil, namespace: @namespace) ⇒ Object

Decodes data into the original message.

data - A String containing encoded data. schema_name - The String name of the schema that should be used to decode

the data. Must match the schema used when encoding (optional).

namespace - The namespace of the schema (optional).

Returns Struct with the next attributes:

schema_id  - The integer id of schema used to encode the message
message    - The decoded message

#encode(message, schema_name: nil, namespace: @namespace, subject: nil, version: nil, schema_id: nil, validate: false) ⇒ Object

Encodes a message using the specified schema.

message - The message that should be encoded. Must be compatible with

the schema.

schema_name - The String name of the schema that should be used to encode

the data.

namespace - The namespace of the schema (optional). subject - The subject name the schema should be registered under in

the schema registry (optional).

version - The integer version of the schema that should be used to decode

the data. Must match the schema used when encoding (optional).

schema_id - The integer id of the schema that should be used to encode

the data.

validate - The boolean for performing complete message validation before

encoding it, Avro::SchemaValidator::ValidationError with
a descriptive message will be raised in case of invalid message.

Returns the encoded data as a String.
