This commit adds support for deserializing protobuf messages that use plain protobuf payloads but use Buf Schema Registry (BSR). Unlike Confluent Schema Registry which embeds schema information in the message payload, BSR stores schema metadata in Kafka record headers.
The BSR wire format uses two headers to identify the schema:
The implementation includes:
Backend Changes:
Frontend Changes:
The BSR serde is prioritized before other protobuf serdes in the deserialization pipeline since BSR messages are identifiable by their specific headers, allowing for efficient format detection.
All existing tests pass and new tests verify BSR deserialization works correctly with dynamic protobuf messages.
