Does VoltDB's Connector Sink support Avro messages?

Question

Does VoltDB's Kafka connector support reading avro messages Below is my attempt to configure the connector ?

{
   "name":"KafkaSinkConnector",
   "config":{
      "connector.class":"org.voltdb.connect.kafka.KafkaSinkConnector",
      "tasks.max":"1",
      "voltdb.servers":"node1:21212,node2:21212,node3:21212",
      "voltdb.procedure":"USER.insert",
      "voltdb.connection.user":"test",
      "voltdb.connection.password":"test",
      "topics":"user",
      "key.converter":"io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter",
      "key.converter.schema.registry.url":"http://kafka-schema-registry:8081",
      "value.converter":"io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter",
      "value.converter.schema.registry.url":"http://kafka-schema-registry:8081",
      "key.converter.schemas.enable":"true",
      "value.converter.schemas.enable":"true", 
   }
}

The connector loads with no error messages are displayed but nothing is written to the DB.

Unfortunately, neither the Kafka importer nor the sink connector currently support Avro messages. This is a good feature request that could be added in the future, however.

Full disclosure: I work for VoltDB.
