Apache Kafka Quick Start Guide

Starting the Schema Registry

Well, we have our Avro schema; now, we need to register it in the Schema Registry. When we start the Confluent Platform, the Schema Registry is started, as shown in the following code:

$./bin/confluent startStarting zookeeperzookeeper is [UP]Starting kafkakafka is [UP]Starting schema-registryschema-registry is [UP]Starting kafka-restkafka-rest is [UP]Starting connectconnect is [UP]Starting ksql-serverksql-server is [UP]Starting control-centercontrol-center is [UP]

If we want just to start the Schema Registry, we need to run the following command:

$./bin/schema-registry-start etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties

The output is similar to the one shown here:

...[2017-03-02 10:01:45,320] INFO Started NetworkTrafficServerConnector@2ee67803{HTTP/1.1,[http/1.1]}{0.0.0.0:8081} ...
