Using the Schema Repository

The schema repository manages Avro message schemas by registering Avro schemas and associating each subject name with its schema. As you update a subject's schema, the subject automatically retains its schema history through subsequent versions.

Within client processes, TIBCO's Avro serialization library accesses the schema repository by directing REST requests via the FTL server with which it is registered, at ftl_server_host:port/schema/v1/

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

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