How to convert Avro Schema to Elastic Search Mapping? I have Avro records in Kafka and I want to insert these records into Elastic search in JSON so I can read and also query them but before I do that I want to create a mapping for my records. I have Avro schema and I am wondering the easiest way to convert that into ElasticSearch Mapping?
