Schema Registry provides a serving layer for your metadata. It provides a RESTful interface for storing and retrieving Avro schemas. It stores a versioned history of all schemas, provides multiple compatibility settings and allows evolution of schemas according to the configured compatibility setting. It provides serializers that plug into Kafka clients that handle schema storage and retrieval for Kafka messages that are sent in the Avro format.
The following assumes you have Kafka and an instance of the Schema Registry running using the default settings.

{"compatibility":"BACKWARD"}You can download prebuilt versions of the Kafka REST Proxy as part of the Confluent Platform. To install from source, follow the instructions in the Development section.
The REST interface to schema registry includes a built-in Jetty server. The
wrapper scripts bin/schema-registry-start and bin/schema-registry-stop
are the recommended method of starting and stopping the service.
To build a development version, you may need a development versions of common and rest-utils. After installing these, you can build the Schema Registry with Maven.
This project uses the Google Java code style to keep code clean and consistent.
