About this task

The Kafka Schema Registry is a service that provides a RESTful interface for storing and retrieving schemas. The Kafka Schema Registry can be installed on one or several nodes. You can install Kafka Schema Registry through the Installer or manually, using the instructions provided here. To install the schema registry package on a node, run the following commands as root or using sudo:

Procedure

  1. Install the schema registry package:

    On SLES:

    zypper install mapr-schema-registry
  2. Run configure.sh -R:
