Renamed Table from Schema to SCHEMA_REPOSITORY to avoid potential reserved word clashes with some databases
Postgresql GH-696 requires transactional semantics even for reading operations when using Lob columns
Removed dependency to h2 database. A database driver is now explicitly required when running the server
Resolves#696 and #697
Fixes#686
Removing unused imports
Simplify the registration process
- rely on EntityScanPackages.register to properly merge registered packages
- add additional tests validating the process
- Add schema server implementation
- Add schema client abstraction
- Add schema client implementation for own schema registry server
- Add schema client supporting Confluent schema registry
- Add Avro-based message converter supporting a static schema resource
- Add Avro-based message converter with schema evolution support, via
schema registry client.
- On serialization, the converter register writer schemas with the schema
registry server and augment the content type of outbound message with
schema information.
On deserialization, the reading converter will fetch the schema from the server
if not available locally.
Use class information if schema is not specified
In the case of SpecificRecord and Reflective readers/writers, the class information can be used instead
Make subtype prefix configurable and shorten the subject
- Subtype prefix is now configurable and subject is the lowercase schema name
- Enhance/correct javadoc
Refine AbstractAvroMessageConverter
- distinguish between writer and reader schema when reader is created
Add schema registry and schema registry client docs
