Kafka connector to support Kafka Schema Registry
One of the issues that our team has been talking about is when getting data from MongoDB, via a Kafka connector, and sending it through to Kafka we try to enforce schemas in Kafka but that schema is not enforced on the MongoDB data. This leads to developers needing to make sure they let the Data Engineering team know when their schema evolves so we can accommodate that change in the Avro schema. Our thought is to potentially have the developers use the Confluent Schema Registry to serialize their data to Avro prior to writing it to MongoDB. This would ensure that downstream consumption is aware of any new fields without having to alert anyone. Is that something that MongoDB supports or recommends? We are completely open to any other recommendations.
