AvroConverter class not found

[ram-venket36]

While trying to configure AvroConverter for value converted as mentioned in details, we see the class not found error. Appears to be the confluent Avro converter is not with the connector package. Is it something consuming clients need to add as per need ?

io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter

@ram-venket36 If you are not using confluent hub, you may have to add the library manually. You can download from confluent repos/mvn.

@muralibasani Thanks. I am using event streams kafka platform. In that case I will add the necessary jars manually and try it out. Also I see there are no configuration specifically provided to key in schema registry url. How does it deserialize the events which are in avro format in topics while storing in s3 ?

@ram-venket36 you might want to add this config https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/schema-registry/connect.html#avro like

key.converter.schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081
value.converter.schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081

We need to document that the classes need to be added and how to specify the schema registry.
