Evolving Schema
About This Task
You evolve a schema when you create a new version. Schema Registry tracks the changes made to your schema, and stores each set of changes in a separate version of the schema. When multiple versions exist, you can select which version you want to use. Ensure that you understand compatibility policies, as they determine how you can evolve your schemas.
Prerequisites
You have selected the Evolve checkbox when initially adding the schema.
You have the schema you want to evolve saved to a file.
Steps
Expand the schema you want to edit and select the schema version from which you want to evolve.
Click the pencil icon to open the Edit Version dialog.
Add a description of what has changed in this new version of the schema. You can view the description in the Schema Registry UI to easily understand what has changed in each version of the schema so we recommend that you add as much detail as you can.
Click Choose File to upload the schema you want to evolve.
Click Ok.
