Descriptionedit
Read serialized Avro records as Logstash events
This plugin is used to serialize Logstash events as Avro datums, as well as deserializing Avro datums into Logstash events.
Encodingedit
This codec is for serializing individual Logstash events as Avro datums that are Avro binary blobs. It does not encode Logstash events into an Avro file.
Decodingedit
This codec is for deserializing individual Avro records. It is not for reading Avro files. Avro files have a unique format that must be handled upon input.
Partial deserialization
Avro format is known to support partial deserialization of arbitrary fields,
providing a schema containing a subset of the schema which was used to serialize
the data.
This codec doesn’t support partial deserialization of arbitrary fields.
Partial deserialization might work only when providing a schema which contains
the first N
fields of the schema used to serialize the data (and
in the same order).
Usageedit
Example usage with Kafka input.
input { kafka { codec => avro { schema_uri => "/tmp/schema.avsc" } } } filter { ... } output { ... }
