Configuring the worker to convert serialized bytes

Configure the worker to deserialize messages using the converter that corresponds to the producer's serializer.

Configure the worker that runs DataStax Apache Kafka™ Connector to deserialize Kafka messages using the correct converter. Typically, all producers and streams use the same serialization definition to write messages.

Apache Kafka provides several APIs for publishing data. Each API provides several different options for message structure and serialization.

Apache Kafka APIs for publishing data include:

Kafka Producer API. See Apache Kafka Java Doc for the Producer Classes.
Kafka Source Connectors. See Apache Kafka Documentation on the Connect API .
Kafka Streams. See Apache Kafka Documentation on the Streams API / KSQL.
