Schema-registry: kafka-avro-console-producer has no value.schema.file option

[MichaelDrogalis]

When using kafka-avro-console-producer, the only way that we allow users to describe the schema of their data is by a literal representation, with --property value.schema="...".

Users will often already have their schema in a file. Rather than forcing them to inline it, the script should take a --property value.schema.file=... argument that reads in the schema directly.

What about also value.schema.url and point at an existing schema in the registry?

[MichaelDrogalis]

That also seems useful. I think you'd need both since sometimes you're producing data for the first time -- before it's ever registered its schema with SR.

value.schema.file now exists as an option

value.schema.file now exists as an option

What version of Confluent is this available in?

Also, is/will there be a separate value.schema.file for the key and value separately?

Also... where is the doco on this? :) I can't find it in Confluent's docination.

Thanks!
