<p>A schema can be declared by passing a class that inherits
from <code>pulsar.schema.Record</code> and defines the fields as
class variables. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-python"><span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> pulsar.schema <span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> *

<span class="hljs-class"><span class="hljs-keyword">class</span> <span class="hljs-title">Example</span><span class="hljs-params">(Record)</span>:</span>
    a = String()
    b = Integer()
    c = Boolean()
</code></pre>
<p>With this simple schema definition we can then create producers,
consumers and readers instances that will be referring to that.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-python">producer = client.create_producer(
                    topic=<span class="hljs-string">'my-topic'</span>,
                    schema=AvroSchema(Example) )

producer.send(Example(a=<span class="hljs-string">'Hello'</span>, b=<span class="hljs-number">1</span>))
</code></pre>
<p>When the producer is created, the Pulsar broker will validate that
the existing topic schema is indeed of &quot;Avro&quot; type and that the
format is compatible with the schema definition of the <code>Example</code>
class.</p>
<p>If there is a mismatch, the producer creation will raise an
exception.</p>
<p>Once a producer is created with a certain schema definition,
it will only accept objects that are instances of the declared
schema class.</p>
<p>Similarly, for a consumer/reader, the consumer will return an
object, instance of the schema record class, rather than the raw
bytes:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-python">consumer = client.subscribe(
                  topic=<span class="hljs-string">'my-topic'</span>,
                  subscription_name=<span class="hljs-string">'my-subscription'</span>,
                  schema=AvroSchema(Example) )

<span class="hljs-keyword">while</span> <span class="hljs-literal">True</span>:
    msg = consumer.receive()
    ex = msg.value()
    <span class="hljs-keyword">try</span>:
        print(<span class="hljs-string">"Received message a={} b={} c={}"</span>.format(ex.a, ex.b, ex.c))
        <span class="hljs-comment"># Acknowledge successful processing of the message</span>
        consumer.acknowledge(msg)
    <span class="hljs-keyword">except</span>:
        <span class="hljs-comment"># Message failed to be processed</span>
        consumer.negative_acknowledge(msg)

<p>The schema definition is done through a class that inherits from
<code>pulsar.schema.Record</code>.</p>
<p>This class can have a number of fields which can be of either
<code>pulsar.schema.Field</code> type or even another nested <code>Record</code>. All the
fields are also specified in the <code>pulsar.schema</code> package. The fields
are matching the AVRO fields types.</p>
