Karapace upgraded to version 6.2.2

    Improved
    Aiven for Apache Kafka®

Karapace 6.2.2 expands Schema Registry compatibility and improves reliability and performance.

New

  • Schema Registry now supports JSON Schema drafts 2019-09 and 2020-12 for validation, storage, and compatibility checks. The unevaluatedProperties, $dynamicRef, $recursiveRef, and $vocabulary keywords are not yet supported.

Fixed

  • Schema Registry could remain unavailable when the _schemas topic was replicated with Apache Kafka® MirrorMaker 2 and ended with a transaction control record.
  • Avro records with multi-way unions are now decoded up to 6 times faster, reducing REST proxy timeouts.

For details, see the Karapace 6.2.2 release notes.
