Streaming conversion of Apache Kafka topics from JSON to Avro with Apache Flink
Pushing data in JSON format to an Apache Kafka topic is very common. However, dealing with messages not having a predefined structure can create some problems, specifically when trying to sink the data via connectors, like the JDBC sink, which require the knowledge of the message structure.
