Subjects & Schema Compatibilities
Compatibilities
Long story short, there are 7 modes of compatibility handled by the Schema Registry:- Full + Transitive: The safest, recommended.
- Add/Delete optional fields only.
- You can ONLY add optional fields (basically, all your fields are optional!): the consumer must explicitly handle the case each field is not present
- You can upgrade the Consumers or Producers like you want, no worries.
- Backward + Transitive
- Delete fields or Add optional fields only.
- Upgrade Consumers first (in case a mandatory field was deleted).
- Forward + Transitive:
- Add fields or Delete optional fields only.
- Upgrade Producers first (produce new mandatory fields before consumers)
- Full: Almost the safest.
