I'm currently incapable of deserialize an avro PRIMITIVE key in a KSTREAM APP
the key in encoded with an avro schema ( registered in the schema registry ) ,
when i use the kafka-avro-console-consumer, I can see that the key is correctly deserialize
But impossible to make it work in a KSTREAM app
the avro schema of the key is a PRIMITIVE:
{"type":"string"}
I already followed the documentation of confluent
final Serde<V> valueSpecificAvroSerde = new SpecificAvroSerde<>();
final Map<String, String> serdeConfig = Collections.singletonMap(SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL_CONFIG, schemaRegistryUrl);
valueSpecificAvroSerde.configure(serdeConfig, false);
final Serdes.StringSerde keySpecificAvroSerde = new Serdes.StringSerde();
keySpecificAvroSerde.configure(serdeConfig, true);
Consumed<String, totoAvro> inputConf = Consumed.with(keySpecificAvroSerde, valueSpecificAvroSerde);
final KStream<String, totoAvro> mystream = builder.stream("name topic", inputConf);
mystream.peek((key, value) -> logger.info("topic KEY :" + key))
it's working well for the value, but the key is going to be a string containing the bytes from the schema registry and not only the "reel" key
https://docs.confluent.io/current/schema-registry/serializer-formatter.html#wire-format
So the string key is /§/./11016015201 , but I would like the reel value : 1016015201
if I print the bytes inside the String it's [ 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x31 0x14 0x31 0x30 0x31 0x36 0x30 0x31 0x35 0x32 0x30 0x31 ]
Update
it's now working : https://stackoverflow.com/a/51957801/6227500
Original answer
The feature is not available currently in the schema registry project.
But by implementing a custom SERDE you can manage the case ,
