• Ensure that the AVRO schema is correctly configured and accessible.
• Verify the protocol and path scheme being used for the AVRO schema location.
• Check if the schema registry API response matches the expected schema definition.
• Confirm that the Kafka cluster setup aligns with the requirements for consuming AVRO messages.
• Consider using HTTPS for the AVRO schema location if supported.
• Refer to documentation or examples for consuming Kafka topics in AVRO format.

Example:

// Sample code snippet for consuming Kafka topic with AVRO schema
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("group.id", "test-group");
props.put("key.deserializer", StringDeserializer.class.getName());
props.put("value.deserializer", KafkaAvroDeserializer.class.getName());
props.put("schema.registry.url", "http://schema-registry-url:8081");

KafkaConsumer<String, GenericRecord> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
consumer.subscribe(Collections.singletonList("avro-topic"));

while (true) {
    ConsumerRecords<String, GenericRecord> records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100));
    for (ConsumerRecord<String, GenericRecord> record : records) {
        GenericRecord value = record.value();
        // Process the AVRO message
    }
}
