Upgrade Notes

In 4.0.0, initial creation or validation of the topic used to store schemas has been reimplemented to use native Kafka protocol requests instead of accessing ZooKeeper directly. This means that you are no longer required to have direct access to the ZooKeeper cluster backing your Kafka cluster. However, note that this also requires appropriate permissions to create topics (on first execution of Schema Registry) or describe topics and configs (on subsequent executions to validate the topic is configured correctly). If you have authentication and authorization enabled on your Kafka cluster, you must ensure your principal has the correct permissions before upgrading Schema Registry cluster. Your principal must have the following permissions:

Create Schemas Topic

Operation Resource Reason
Describe Topic: kafkastore.topic Check existence of topic
Create Cluster Create the schemas topic, set compaction policy

Validate Schemas Topic

Operation Resource Reason
Describe Topic: kafkastore.topic Check existence of topic
DescribeConfigs Topic: kafkastore.topic Validate correct compaction policy on topic
