KafkaAvroDeserializer properties reference
Review the following reference for a comprehensive list of the KafkaAvroDeserializer properties.
| Property Name | Description | Type | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| schemaregistry.reader.schema.versions | This is for setting which version of the schema should be used for which topic.1 | Map<String, Integer> | Empty map |
| specific.avro.reader | If this is enabled, SpecificDatumReader will be used for deserialization. | Boolean | false |
| logical.type.conversion.enabled | If this is enabled, Avro record fields that have logical types can be deserialized directly into their corresponding Java classes (BigDecimal, UUID, LocalDate, and so on). If not enabled, the record field will be deserialized as raw type, without handling the logical type. In this case, probably the same logical type related conversion will be needed to get a valid value. If specific.avro.reader is set to true, this does not have any effect. | Boolean | false |
| key_schema_version_id_header_name | If the schema of the record key is stored in the header, the header name can be configured. | String | key.schema.version.id |
| value_schema_version_id_header_name | If the schema of the record value is stored in the header, the header name can be configured. | String | value.schema.version.id |
The KafkaAvroDeserializer contains an embedded
SchemaRegistryClient. The configuration for
SchemaRegistryClient should also be provided for the
KafkaAvroDeserializer. For more information about configurable properties
for the Schema Registry Client properties reference documentation.

Map<String, Object> configs = new HashMap<>()
Map<String, Integer> readerVersions = new HashMap<>();
readerVersions.put("clicks", 2);
readerVersions.put("users", 1);
configs.put(“schemaregistry.reader.schema.versions”, readerVersions);
