kafka: producer and consumer with different avro file - apache-kafka

Question

I am processing 2 different avro files:
avroConsumer:
{"namespace": "autoGenerated.avro",
"type": "record",
"name": "UserConsumer",
"fields": [
{"name": "Name", "type": "string"},
{"name": "Surname", "type":["null","string"],"default": null},
{"name": "favorite_number", "type": ["long", "null"]},
{"name": "favorite_color", "type": ["string", "null"]}
]
}
avroProducer:
{"namespace": "autoGenerated.avro",
"type": "record",
"name": "UserProducer",
"fields": [
{"name": "name", "type": "string"},
{"name": "favorite_number", "type": ["int", "null"]},
{"name": "favorite_color", "type": ["string", "null"]}
]
}
On compiling procedure a deserialization error occurs but I thought that defining the "default" attribute in the consumer should make it work correctly.
Reference: http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Schema+Resolution
if the reader's record schema has a field that contains a default
value, and writer's schema does not have a field with the same name,
then the reader should use the default value from its field.
Do you have some ideas? Can I define a different consumer avro file than the producer avro file?
