When you select a Kafka source or a Kafka target topic, you can configure format options.
Schema Source
You must specify the schema of the source or target file. You can select one of the following options to specify a schema:
- Import from Schema File. Imports schema from a schema definition file in your local machine.
- Read from data file. Imports schema from a file in Kafka when you configure a Kafka connection to use the Confluent schema registry to import metadata.
Schema File
When you select the Import Schema from File option in the Schema Source drop-down list, you must choose a schema definition file on your local machine. You cannot upload a schema file when you select the Read from data file option.
