Producer
Insulator supports producing new records to the cluster topics. Two types of producers are currently supported: Avro and String.
The string producer allows the user to create a new record with string key and value.
To produce to a topic, let’s start selecting the Topics view in the sidebar and search the topic we want to produce to.
Clicking the Produce button will open a new modal window with the Key and Value fields. If the schema registry is configured for the current cluster, it will be possible to switch between String and Avro producer from the Serializer combobox.
The Avro producer validates the Value field against the Avro schema for the selected topic and shows helpful validation issue in the Validation area.
In addition to the validation, the Avro producer has autocompletion built-in. Press CTRL+SPACE (CMD+SPACE on Mac) to add a missing field on the current cursor position in the Value area.
