Apache Kafka - Real-time Stream Processing (Master Class) - AVRO Schema to POJO for AVRO Serdes

This video tutorial covers Avro serialization, a popular choice for big data projects. It explains how to create Avro schemas, including handling limitations like inheritance by combining schemas. The tutorial guides through defining fields and complex types, such as arrays, using Avro schema syntax. It also demonstrates generating Java classes from these schemas using Maven, detailing necessary plugins and configurations. The video concludes with a note on using Avro-generated POJOs in Kafka, to be covered in future lectures.
