In Avro, adding an element to an enum without a default is a __ schema evolution

Abreaking

Bfull

Cbackward

Dforward

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Since Confluent 5.4.0, Avro 1.9.1 is used. Since default value was added to enum complex type , the schema resolution changed from:

(<1.9.1) if both are enums:** if the writer's symbol is not present in the reader's enum, then an error is signalled. **(>=1.9.1) if both are enums:

if the writer's symbol is not present in the reader's enum and the reader has a default value, then that value is used, otherwise an error is signalled.

Wait, wait, wait...is this a trick question? I feel like there's gotta be a catch here. Maybe the answer is 'D) forward' because it's adding new functionality, even though it's technically a breaking change. Ugh, Avro schemas are the bane of my existence!

Hah, classic Avro tricks! You know, I heard the exam writers have a secret club where they come up with these mind-bending questions. They probably have a dart board with all the answer options on it.

I'm not too sure about this one. Is it 'backward' because it's compatible with older clients, or 'forward' because it's adding new functionality? Decisions, decisions...

Okay, let's think this through. Adding an element to an enum without a default...that's gotta be a breaking change, right? I mean, you're introducing a new value that old clients won't know how to handle.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I feel like I should know the answer, but my brain's just not clicking right now. Maybe I need to chug another cup of coffee before the exam.

Ah, the old enum schema evolution conundrum! This is a classic trick question, I tell you. Gotta keep us on our toes, don't they?
