Cloudera Streams Messaging - Schema Registry

How to get to Schema Registry UI with Cloudera Streams Messaging Operator 1.6

In this quick blog post I am going to show you how to install the CSM Operator’s Schema Registry and expost the UI using my macbook and minikube.

First, lets skip the “hard install” docs, and work with the basic evaluation docs. I just want to evaluate that this works and that I can get to and see the Schema Registry UI.

We will need the following contents for sr-values.yaml:

tls:
  enabled: false

authentication:
  oauth:
    enabled: false

authorization:
  simple:
    enabled: false

database:
  type: in-memory

service:
  type: NodePort

Having been through some of the troubles exposing UIs previouly, I was very happy to find minikube making exposing the service with NodePort easy. In the docs you will find this command:

---

kubectl get service schema-registry-service --namespace csm-operator

I was even happier for AI to share with me this command:

minikube service schema-registry-service --namespace csm-operator

which swiftly moved me from terminal to the UI:

You can still do port forward too:

kubectl port-forward service/schema-registry-service 9090:9090 --namespace csm-operator

Note: Check out my full command stream for the session above:

Watch out! Be careful with upstream documentation copy paste code boxes with \\ and return lines they will often times mess you up.
