* Java/Scala libraries compatibility [[test](avro/src/test/scala/com/kafka/demo/LibraryCompatibilitySpec.scala)]

**Demo**

```bash
# console

Setup Kafka
```bash
# access kafka
docker exec -it local-kafka bash

# create topic
kafka-topics --zookeeper zookeeper:2181 \
--create --if-not-exists --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic USER_PROFILE

# produce sample data
kafka-console-producer --broker-list kafka:9092 --topic USER_PROFILE << EOF
{"userid": 1000, "firstname": "Alison", "lastname": "Smith", "countrycode": "GB", "rating": 4.7}
EOF

# consume
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server kafka:9092 --topic USER_PROFILE --from-beginning
```

Access KSQL CLI

* using the server
```bash
# access ksql-server
docker exec -it local-ksql-server bash

# start ksql cli
ksql http://ksql-server:8088
```

* using a local instance
```bash
# connect to local cli
docker exec -it local-ksql-cli ksql http://ksql-server:8088
```

* using a temporary instance
```bash
# connect to remote server
docker run --rm \
--network=kafka-scala-examples_local_kafka_network \
-it confluentinc/cp-ksql-cli http://ksql-server:8088
```

Execute SQL statements
```bash
# create stream
CREATE STREAM user_profile (\
userid INT, \
firstname VARCHAR, \
lastname VARCHAR, \
countrycode VARCHAR, \
rating DOUBLE \
) WITH (KAFKA_TOPIC = 'USER_PROFILE', VALUE_FORMAT = 'JSON');

# verify stream
list streams;
describe user_profile;

# query stream
SELECT userid, firstname, lastname, countrycode, rating FROM user_profile EMIT CHANGES;
```

Expect the consumer and the query to show the generated data
```bash
# generate data
docker run --rm \
-v $(pwd)/local/ksql:/datagen \
--network=kafka-scala-examples_local_kafka_network \
-it confluentinc/ksql-examples ksql-datagen \
