kafkaValueProtobufHint

Commentary​

added in 0.8.5

local configuration

When using the Kafka Protobuf serializer, explicitly defines the Protobuf schema and message for the record value.

Examples​

Setting the schema​

Set kafkaValueProtobufHint with two keys: schemaFile, which is a path inside the container to a file containing the Protobuf schema, and message, which is the Protobuf message to encode the record with.
