About

Karafka Parser for Apache Avro. It uses the great AvroTurf gem by under the hood.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'karafka-avro-parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Thanks to Karafka's modular design, you only have to define a parser the moment you draw your consumer groups.

Example with Schema Folder

Karafka::Parsers::Avro.schemas_path = 'app/schemas'

App.consumer_groups.draw do
  consumer_group :my_consumer_group do
    topic :my_topic do
      consumer AvroConsumer
      parser Karafka::Parsers::Avro.from_path('schema_name')
    end
  end
end

Example with a Codec

Karafka::Parsers::Avro.schemas_path = 'app/schemas'

App.consumer_groups.draw do
  consumer_group :my_consumer_group do
    topic :my_topic do
      consumer AvroConsumer
      parser Karafka::Parsers::Avro.from_path('schema_name', codec: 'deflate')
    end
  end
end

Example with Schema Registry

Karafka::Parsers::Avro.registry_url = 'http://my-registry:8081/'

App.consumer_groups.draw do
  consumer_group :my_consumer_group do
    topic :my_topic do
      consumer AvroConsumer
      parser Karafka::Parsers::Avro.from_registry('schema_name')
    end
  end
end

Note: schema_name is not specifically required when using a schema registry, as the schema id is contained within the message, it can be passed in optionally if you are using one schema per topic
