This PR aims to deprecate the current
Serializer
approach and replaces it with a "message transformation concept" which allows to modify the message before after consumption before sending. (For example to de/encode the payload if it's in Avro format.)This PR should not introduce any BC.
I think the
Serializer
as of today is really just a workaround for transporting the message headers back when kafka didn't had any support for native headers. As we have it now I think we either should deprecate it and remove it as soon as possible (next major) or replace it with a proper concept (which this PR is a proposal for along with deprecating theSerializer
).wdyt?
