Specifies whether or not to validate schema registry topics against the Apache Kafka broker. Only has an effect when TypeDetectionScheme =SchemaRegistry.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Schema registries can include metadata for topics that cannot be accessed in Kafka. This can happen because the topic doesn't exist on the broker. It is also possible that the principal the connection is authenticated to does not have access to the topic.

By default, the driver will get a list of schemas from the registry and then filter out any that the broker does not report. All the remaining valid topics are exposed as tables. You can disable this behavior by setting this option to false. This will report all schemas in the registry as tables regardless of whether they are accessible on the broker.
