Schema Repository

The schema repository registers Avro schemas, associating each subject name with its schema. As you update a subject's schema, the subject automatically retains its schema history in versions.

Kafka client applications and Kafka brokers can use the schema repository to manage Avro schemas.

Within client processes, TIBCO's Avro serialization library accesses the schema repository by directing REST requests to the schema repository at schema_repository_host:port.

For REST API documentation, run the repository, then use a browser to view http://schema_repository_host:port.

The schema repository uses the FTL realm server as back-end storage.
